   You're not clear: what refuses to install the stuff? The Easymint   
   installer?

   Once again you're not very clear: what system (What OS)? TOS won't show   
   you Q: because Q: does not exist for it. On the other hand, MiNT will   
   show you Q: but then, it means that MiNT is already installed.
