Patience.........things done in haste never work. The team is still testing and stuff and they will release when all is fine and working...

Re: Is Santa bringing a new LMDE??
yeah well I wouldn't be so sure thatr's the final iso. I for one will not install it anywhere else but in a vm as long as i don't see a release posit on the blog

LMDE is based on Debian Squeeze. Currently, in the 'freeze' stage, soon to be released as 'stable'gotjazz wrote:yeah well I wouldn't be so sure thatr's the final iso. I for one will not install it anywhere else but in a vm as long as i don't see a release posit on the blog
Hence, the Debian part of LMDE is extremely stable at the moment, only the Mint repros, and Mint specific Apps, are kinda/sorta new.
Which make even the "for testing" version of Debian/Mint more stable than most any other distro.
Re: Is Santa bringing a new LMDE??
Interesting that the Mint Community page for ISOs hasn't had any indication of these at all.vrkalak wrote:The new version of LMDE was released for download just yesterday.

And until Clem says that it's the final release, well - what I said earlier
Re: Is Santa bringing a new LMDE??
I have the most recent updates (Level 3) on my previous LMDE install and since there's no "update-manager -d" option here, would it be safe to say that i have the latest version?
Haven't visited my Isadora partition in a while, much as i love her i think i am ready to let go now.

I'm actually very happy with the 32bit so I'm not in a hurry to swap up to 64bit, but once I see a torrent I'll start adding my little bit of bandwidth to the effort.

Re: Is Santa bringing a new LMDE??
If you've been doing level 1-3 updates, then you are up-to-date with the mint desktop and tools, and some of your apps, but not the Debian base.mzsade wrote:I have the most recent updates (Level 3) on my previous LMDE install and since there's no "update-manager -d" option here, would it be safe to say that i have the latest version?

I noticed only one mirror was listed above. Please be sure to pick a mirror close to you so that the heanet mirror does not get overloaded:

Re: Is Santa bringing a new LMDE??
Correct, if you have keep up with the Mints Level 3 updates -- the Mint repros and Apps are up-to-date but not the Debian Squeeze/testing core/sources.tdockery97 wrote:If you've been doing level 1-3 updates, then you are up-to-date with the mint desktop and tools, and some of your apps, but not the Debian base.mzsade wrote:I have the most recent updates (Level 3) on my previous LMDE install and since there's no "update-manager -d" option here, would it be safe to say that i have the latest version?
Unless, you have updated via the Synaptic Manager or done an apt-get dist-upgrade in the terminal. These will upgrade Debian.
With Ubuntu a 'fresh install' is always recommended for a new version.
With Debian, it's always better (recommended) to update/upgrade to the next release.
If you have kept up with ALL the updates/upgrades for LMDE you already have the new Debian 6 Squeeze version.

the 64 bit one works good they should try to make it look different than mint main if you ask megotjazz wrote:sure and i know the system isn't anything but what I'm running anyway now, BUT: the installer is new.vrkalak wrote:LMDE is based on Debian Squeeze.

Re: Is Santa bringing a new LMDE??
Thanks guys, i did do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"..feels great to be on the cutting edge, merry Xmas.

Re: Is Santa bringing a new LMDE??
but no new "newbie friendly" installer like Clem mentioned that this would have? I thought they would add the simple option of wiping out old system and completely installing over it and also the side by side with what is already installed (like on the standard mint installer)...someone mentioned it didn't have those options in another LMDE thread...
Re: Is Santa bringing a new LMDE??
If it got any more user friendly, it would be making you coffee while you waited for it to install. But seriously, if i remember correctly these options that you mentioned were there, i could be wrong..manual partitioning before installation really isn't all that complicated either.craig10x wrote:but no new "newbie friendly" installer like Clem mentioned that this would have?
