   Tnx, Paul. I may use this for fun, just to see if I get it done, but   
   since he also wants to learn how to install Linux Mint I might as well   
   let him do it looking over his shoulder.

   I guess that is my fault with the autologin with an admin account.

   Well, I told him I knew how to install Linux Mint and run the basics   
   (mail, browser, office, repositories, menu settings, install other   
   software, ...), but that I was in no way an expert. I guess this is what   
   you get when you combine two amateurs. This is what we call 'leergeld'   
   (learning money).
