Can you please tell me step by step how to do this?

I'm new to Linux these operating systems seem very user unfriendly. I'm trying to get away from using Microsoft Windows.

Thanks

[wolfden]

there is only 3 steps and they are provided above, what is the confusion?

[microman777]

Any advice?

ntovik this isn't a support thread, make a new topic for your problem

The menus in the screencap are confusing. There are two sections, 1-6 and 01-09, with different purposes. Let's hope "1" and "01" are treated as different choices. Will users always know which "pastebin" to do? All of them just in case?
