Upgrading Minty Goodness?

[garda]

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to upgrade MintInstall to version 5 and MintUpdate to version 3 on Elyssa? If so, then how? I like the latest version of the two Mint applications but don't want to upgrade the whole installation to Felicia just yet. Thank you all in advance.

Cheers.

In a terminal run

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Find and Eeit the lines for the Romeo repository so they looks like these (remove the #).

Code: Select all

## +++ Romeo (unstable) +++
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ elyssa romeo

Save and Close.

Refresh mintupdate and the updates should be there.

If they aren't there straight away run

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

in a terminal, then try mintUpdate again

Thanks for the guide, Omns. That works. I'm currently refreshing mintInstall while writing this reply. That brings me to another question: how do I transfer mintInstall data from one computer to another? Refreshing it off the internet takes quite a while and I have two more machines to update here at home.

--EDIT--

Nevermind, I've spotted what I was looking for. It's in ~/.linuxmint. I thought it was somewhere in /etc or /usr/share. Thanks again for your help.
