Hello.

The reason for wanting the iso image, is to be able to show and install 
it on computers that do not already have it.

An example, is my wife's current computer that has MS Windows 10 or 11 
on it - she has been considering installing Linux Mint on it, but, a 
recent article in The Register (to which I have referred her, which 
article, she is yet to read), tells how 22.04.1 (specifically, from my 
understanding, the point release), has enhanced abilities for dealing 
with MS Windows stuff, including, with the NTFS file format. She does 
not have anything other than MS Windows installed on it, as yet, but, 
has shrunk the Windows partition, in preparation for installing Linux, 
and, an iso is what is required to progress it.

Also, I have a laptop that I was given, that does not have an OS 
installed on it, (and,  I was told, the battery in it is dead), and, 
when we get a battery system that will provide UPS for the house, for 
which, I am waiting for the installation (it is scheduled, but, weather 
dependent), I am wanting to find what OS's I can install on it (and, 
that I can use). The grid electricity supply here, is a bit erratic, so 
it is best to have a UPS for computers that do not have incorporate 
usable battery to stop system failures when the electricity grid fails, 
which happens frequently.
