Overview

The Linux package for CM-iGT includes a ready-to-run image that can be installed on internal SSD, attached SATA or USB storage device
Download and unzip the Linux package for CM-iGT to the host PC
Ensure the integrity of the file:

$ md5sum igt-linux.zip
81e1651606d45612219aefee3dbfb348  igt-linux.zip

We are going to boot on CM-iGT with LiveCD/USB, mount igt-linux files and using basic tools write the image to the internal SSD storage

Prepare installation media

A USB DVD-ROM drive or a USB Flash drive of at least 1GB should be used as installation media
Download Linux Mint 13 "Maya" - MATE (64-bit)
For installation with a USB DVD-ROM - flash the downloaded image directly onto a DVD
For installation with a USB Flash drive, please follow How to install Linux Mint via USB tutorial

Installation

Boot with the installation media on CM-iGT
Make the Linux package files accessible from the CM-iGT, for example mount them with NFS or attach a disk-on-key with the files
Write the image on the internal SSD storage:

$ gzip -dc /path/to/igt-linux/igt.mint13.8GB.dd.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M

Remove the installation media and reboot

Welcome to Linux Mint 13 LTS

On first boot choose your language, choose timezone, username, password etc.
