Thanks for the offer! I’ve managed to create bootable installations and install them before, and run simple commands, but tended to skip this step. It’s not a problem with directions either, I faithfully followed the verification guide which worked. The numbers just don’t match.
Yeah that sounds like it might just be a dodgy download. It’s been a while since I played around with other distros (I am old and can’t be bothered and run Ubuntu now) but mint used to be my go to for older machines. It’s lighter then ubuntu

It may genuinely be an issue with the isos as someone else who got as far as installation is talking about corrupted files. https://www.linux.org/threads/linux-mint-cinnamon-22-1-and-virtualbox.56035/
The distribution I was downloading was Cinnamon 22.1 but I’m wondering if I should try Ubuntu
I’ve only skimmed the first few posts but adding it here so I don’t lose it

I’ll have to dig more into it and see what other people are doing
