Upgrading to 14 Without Fresh Install?
Is there a safe way to upgrade to Linux Mint 14 without the recommended fresh install? My system has a terabyte of programs that I'd rather not have to re-install (everything I have is backed up, its just tedious). I remember with Ubuntu, I was able to upgrade using the package manager. There a way to do that here?

No, there is no safe-way, see http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2d10sfan wrote:Is there a safe way to upgrade to Linux Mint 14

Is there a way at all, or anything like Ubuntu's upgrade feature?

Nope, I'm afraid. You have to change the repositories yourself if you want to upgrade Mint.

hi,
I have a new laptop with UEFI booting and I dont mind to do fresh install linux mint 14 but this is just not working.
in linux mint 13 this was not a problem.
I am trying now to make an upgrade from linux mint 13...
