Can't remember how to upgrade (Mint 8 to 10).

[albrtijo]

I've been away from Linux too long, I cannot process upgrading from 8 to 10. I downloaded 10 twice and lost it trying to get to installing. I want to upgrade from 8 to 10. Please help before I surrender to being feeble. I've searched for info on the process, but came up empty. albrtijo

A clean install (recommended by Clem): http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2

Actually in a lot of peoples opinion and better judgement would direct you to a clean install (after backing up the important stuff first) jumping 2 releases like that in my estimation may leave you feeling feeble in the end anyhoo with all the breakage that may occur.

since ' LINUX Mint 8 Helena ' is not supported any longer ! ... I think they want do no ' upgrade ' anyway ! ...
just back up your personal stuff ! .. and install brandnew ! ... which one you like ! ...
