Download and Install
# Once you have the stick, insert it into your computer, preferably into a USB3 port (it's either blue in colour or has SS writen on it, short for SuperSpeed).
# Download the compressed image from here:
#* [https://scs.senecac.on.ca/~andrew.smith/ict-usb-sticks/linuxmint-17.318-cinnamon-64bit-seneca-ict-2016-v1v2.adata32.img.zip linuxmint-17.318-cinnamon-64bit-seneca-ict-2016-v1v2.adata32.img.zip]
# Then unzip it. You'll obviously need enough disk space for that, a total of probably 36GB (one compressed + one uncompressed file). Note that in the open lab you should use 7zip to extract the archive, the Windows built-in zip extractor doesn't seem to work for this large file.
# Write the image to your USB stick:
#* If you're currently using linux - you can use the dd command to write to the USB stick. Make sure you write to the device file (e.g. /dev/sdb) and not any existing partition (e.g. /dev/sdb1). You'll need root permissions to be able to write to that device file.
#** e.g. dd bs=4K if=linuxmint-17.318-cinnamon-64bit-seneca-ict-2016-v1v2.adata32.img of=/dev/sdb
#* On windows you'll need to use [http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ Win32 Disk Imager]. It's a free program.
