In this, since I last posted, I remembered that, on one of my computers,
on which I installed Linux Mint, whilst the BIOS was set to boot first
from the USB input, it would not, so, I simply wrote a copy of the iso
file to a DVD, and, booted from the DVD drive, and, installed from the
DVD drive, without any problem.
