Step 1. Download Linux Mint ISO (Successfully tested on Linux Mint 18.2 Sonya) https://www.linuxmint.com/ Step 2. Burn Linux Mint ISO to DVD (Windows 7: Right click on file and choose burn to disc). Step 3. Boot Linux Mint ISO from DVD (Restart computer, if needed go into bios and change boot order, or press F8 to bring up boot menu or something like that) Step 4. Start FireFox Web Browser Step 5. Download SandSifter software and extract to a folder. https://github.com/xoreaxeaxeax/sandsifter (Click "clone or download", then click "download zip", then click "open with archive manager", then click "extract" (top left icon), click "other locations", choose a harddisk or other storage medium which is persistent, click on the storage medium, click create new folder (top right icon), name for folder could be "test", click "extract", click "show the files") Enter the folder "sandsifter-master" by left clicking on it. Step 6. Download Skybuck's Flying run.sh script file Download and save the "run.sh" script file to/inside the "sandsifter-master" folder. http://www.skybuck.org/SandSifter/unzipped/run.sh Step 7. Open terminal window and resize it to make it bigger Right click in the empty space and choose "open in terminal" A window and a prompt/blinking cursor should now come up looking similar to: mint@mint /media/mint/Windows 7 System (New)/test/sandsifter-master $ Make the window bigger so that the summarize script at the end doesn't crash ! Drag and Drop the window at the bottom right corner to make it bigger (Hold the left mouse button to drag and make it bigger then let mouse button go) Step 8. Run Skybuck's Flying Bash Script to install software and run SandSifter type the following command: bash ./run.sh Step 9. Guide the software installation and upgrade process Sometimes it will ask if you want to continue ? Press the Y key. Once it's done installing SandSifter will automatically run and finally a summary will be created. Step 10. Wait for the analysis to complete Once you see instructions scrolling/flying over the screen go take a sleep and wait many hours until it is completely done. Once it is done it will show something like: "May the Force be with you ! Always !" then you know the script is done ! Step 11. Do not open the log files ! The log files (in data folder) may be to big for the Linux Mint 18.2 text and office editors to handle ! This will probably crash/hang the system ! Step 12. Go into the data folder and send the files to the e-mail address: xoreaxeaxeax@gmail.com
