So far, you have learned the best practices related to partitioning and also come up with your own partitioning scheme. You may have even booted from your installation media to test drive the live environment using Chapter 3, Getting Acquainted with Cinnamon, as your guide. Now that you're completely armed and ready, it's time to install Linux Mint on your computer. If you haven't already done so, booting the live media is easy. To do so, perform the following steps:
Either insert a Linux Mint DVD or attach a Linux Mint flash drive to your computer, depending on the one you created.
When you turn on your computer, a trigger will be displayed on the manufacturer logo screen that will mention something along the lines of accessing a boot menu. This trigger is different depending on which kind of computer you have. For example, Dell computers designate F12 to access the boot menu, so this is what you would press on the Dell logo screen.
You'll know that you've done it...
