Question about Packages

[jasmac]

Hello, may I start by saying that I have been a big fan on mint for a while now, and it has always been my base system since switching from windows, even when dabbling with other distros on offer. I thought I would give the KDE variant a crack and boy am I happy I did. This is one great distro, congrats and thanks to all involved with putting it together. To my question, with the standard Mint there is AptonCd and Remastersys available, I notice they are absent with this. Is that because of compatability issues or am I able to install them from outside the repositories. If not is there alternates available that would do the job. Any assistance is appreciated. TIA

As far as I know aptoncd is in the Daryna KDE edition by default - and I see it in /usr/bin (in main now)

aptoncd and remastersys are NOT present on the KMint Daryna DVD.

You can install from downloads at their sites.

Thanks for correcting me - but I see aptoncd in /usr/bin.... (in Nautilus in the main edition) - checked before I answered. But it's not often that I use the KDE edition even if my intention is to use it a bit more...

Thankyou for the answers, I wish I had chased it up earlier as it they would have come in handy. I managed to drop my lappy on its head and need to start again on my backup, which is even older than the one I just dropped. Thanks again.
