No CD-RW, 52x CD drive no DVD, and the BIOS doesn't do USB booting.

Get an old Debian floppy image.

I've decided to buy a new Netbook (mini-laptop)

Either an Acer Aspire One or a HP Mini Netbook . . . the specs are fairly similar, and both are stated to work well with Linux.
Specs for both include 10" monitor with 1 Gb of RAM and 160 Gb hard-drive.

Any comments or concerns about either Netbook, or Netbooks , in general?

But, don't "hi-jack" this topic .... send me a PM better.

Is there a mintuchino? I'dl like to try it.
I'm sure we can make one up for you.

Wow, they're that old?

I hope you can... I'm about to fall asleep. Put a crapload of caffeine in it plz.

About the Acers, I got an Aspire (from ~2007), and... Meh. I've had better. I guess it might have something to do with Vista running on it.

Neato! Mint sure is growing fast! I'm happy with #! though, Mint is a bit too slow and bloated for my tastes.

For most countries in the northern hemisphere, summer is over.
Here's a dedication to lovers of September:

@npap, I know! it's been too long my friend. my job has been crazy for the last year and I've neglected the minty goodness of the cafe.

I'm going to try and change that a bit now that fall is approaching

Ken is still tending bar I hope..

Enjoying my Minty Cold LMDE, Looking out the window to see my acer ruberum (red maple) and how its changing every day. Nat King provides the perfect tune to simply relax

thank you, thank you npap.

Barkeep, have you and espresso? Pumpkin Spice with a latte kid sir.

<<<update>>>
just installed LMDE to my laptop this weekend!
it cooks

Post by **Oscar799** » Mon Sep 13, 2010 7:09 am

Sit down and have a drink ikey,you must be worn out....

npap · Post by **npap** » Mon Sep 13, 2010 11:11 am

Looks like LMDE is playing hard to get

I had to try three times to get it. First it was a bad DVD. Then my bad Hard Disk cracking up.
I finally changed disks. That did it.

Well my fellow LMDebians, it was worth all the trouble.

It's also nice to see some good old friends here.

Let's see if Kenetics, our official bartender, will show up.

At the moment, here's a round of Mint Julep cocktails for everybody.
And Hooray to Clem, for he's a jolly good fellow and nobody can deny it.

Hip, Hip!
Bottoms up!

Well its ironic really. Put all that effort into LMDE and I'm one of the last people to use it

@ikey, better late than never!

@npap, thanks for the drink!

Cheers,

Deadguy

Ouch What happens if you run them from the terminal npap?
Code: Select all
gksudo synaptic
gksudo mintinstall

Thanks for the tip Ikey
Below is the response of the Super User terminal:

If not give this a try:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mintinstall synaptic
P.S. If you're in the "super user" terminal you don't need sudo

EDIT: npap try this when you get back online..
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Here is the terminal output. Ikey
No luck yet.
I'm also having a poor internet connection these last few days.

Or just copy paste this command into your terminal:
