   Thanks for your guidance.   
      
   Downloaded Xfce.  Burnt the .ISO to a DVD.  Booted the DVD.   
      
   Menu appears:   
      
   Start Linux Mint   
   Start Linux Mint in compatibilty mode   
   OEM Install (For Manufacturers)   
   Hardware detection   
   Boot from Local Drive   
   Memory Test   
      
   Tried "Hardware detection": nice list of devices.  Noted PCI devices   
   need drivers.   
      
   Tried "Start Linux Mint"   
   Kernel panic - not syncing: "No working init found"   
   ... followed by a page of info   
      
   Tried "OEM Install"   
   Same:   
   Kernel panic - not syncing: "No working init found"   
   ... followed by a page of info   
      
   There's a reference to some documentation, but before I work through   
   that, have I actually downloaded something that will install Mint on   
   this hardware?   
      
   Or do I need to find an "Installer"?
