Do yourselves a favor. Back-up your Mint and other installs people. Whether ya burn it as an iso to a disc or set up a recovery/back-up partition on your comp for it ( or both). You will save yourself so much aggravation, headaches and pains in da rear quarters if you do.
Take it from someone who's had to reinstall Mint wayyyyy too many times. Cause I was tweaking and borked my install. Also you will save Mint's servers the bandwidth and extra load. So it's a win/win for everybody.
My job here is done.
