Okay I want to install linux mint from a friend of mine whos new to linux. Linux Mint has everything I need for him already installed, except one thing:
The alternate to synaptic manager, the add/install menu ubuntu uses as more of a default/alternative, its essentially synaptic with less options but is more user friendly, anyone want to tell me where I can get this to install it?

Re: add/install from ubuntu
The name of that program is gnome-app-install ... I just checked by looking at the properties of the launcher in my Ubuntu 7.04's GNOME menu ... Maybe you can get it via this command from the Ubuntu repos?4thwall wrote: Linux Mint has everything I need for him already installed, except one thing: The alternate to synaptic manager, the add/install menu ubuntu uses
