    Steve, the Mint Mate tuts I made may help you set it up. They are all on my Youtube but on this PDF the controls are in the order that they should be used.

    Just a heads up about downloading Zorin. I decided to give it a try today but on their website they have this warning:

    ATTENTION: To avoid any complications, we recommend you to download Zorin OS using Firefox as other browsers may corrupt the file and may cause errors.

    Sure enough, the download was compromised using Opera (my primary browser) and IE10 (my secondary browser.) The MD5 checksums didn't match. Any ideas why Zorin would be picky about which browser is used to get the download? Does that also mean Zorin will force people to use Firefox as their default browser?

    Yeah, I have seen that too. But I don't even have Firefox in Windows. I used the IE9 and did not have any problems. But if the checksum is off, you better not use it.

    Thanks Wolfgang for this tutorial - Nice work!
    I followed it and have Zorin running under Win 7 64 bit.
    Is it possible to add a "Quick Launch" type toolbar to the Zorin taskbar ?

    I am not aware of a Quick Launch facility in Zorin. But maybe the guys of the Zorin forum have an idea.

    Hello Wolfgang mate so I have to set up a VM machine to run Zorin as I have just spent the last few days to make a dual boot form a bootable stick with Zorin on it using the UUI and Rufus methods of making the stick bootable but the machine just goes straight to the hard drive and boots Windows from the hard drive no matter hat I set in the BIOS.

    I am just about ready to give it away to be honest as it seems to be so complicated.

    Zorin os 12 core 64 bit


    Hello Everyone, I do not know if anyone can help me here. I have been on Zorin's Forums, and suggestions
    for installing the system have not worked so far. I purchased the Zorin dvd, and a Seagate 1tb external
    hard drive, as I wish to keep it apart from windows. I boot into the dvd, Zorin shows the Seagate external
    drive straight away, but when I try instructions from different forums all I get is no root file system is defined, please correct this from partitioning menu. I have been told to allow 30gb for '|' root file system,
    ext4, but everytime there is the same error. Am becoming very confused. I do like the Zorin desktop,
    it seems nice like Windows 7. I just want to make sure grub stays away from Windows, and that Zorin
    installs to the external hard drive.
