Try running (from the terminal): sudo /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintSystem/mint-adjust.py
then reboot and check again. Unless it has been changed in Petra, mint-adjust should be part of the mintsystem package.

That's how I feel. Even though I'm 95% sure that the only difference is an announcement on the main page and that the current stable won't change, it still happens sometimes. Sometimes last minute bugs are found and ironed out an the ISO has to be compiled again. So, I'm waiting for the main linuxmint.com page to announce LM16. I'm very excited though.. this is a new laptop for me and I've kept it Windows only for almost 5 months now, waiting for LM16 final to arrive. Finally, by tomorrow hopefully I'll have everything running like I did before!

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade
First BACKUP you home folder! this is relatively safe to do as far as i see but i can see how someone could bonk there system so be careful. First you need to put the LM16 sources/repos in your[url]http://hajimu.org/?p=3590[/url] /etc/apt/sources.list.d or /etc/apt/sources.list. I put them in my /etc/apt/sources.list.d but it worked with /etc/apt/sources.list too but for some reason i had two less packages so i went with /etc/apt/sources.list.d(it will not let you put them in both atleast not for me I played around alittle like this to make it less likely to bonk my system)
use this to[url]http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/62[/url]
After its done type in welcome screen and if it says Linux mint 16 petra your good.
Oh and it say Linux mint at the Grub menu now!
The best way to learn from it is break it OS's (is there a plural for OS?) included.
I downloaded the cinnamon 64bit ISO from stable ftp and still experiencing total freezes when trying to change, add or remove themes.
Same problem with RC. Hope they do a respin of the ISO with fixes before the final announcement.
