Just wondering as in ubuntu you can update from major version to the next one, can mint do this too?

I am downloading at the moment as Mint looks really, really good to the eyes and i have heard many good things about it in general too

When Mint 6 goes final, Clem should post instructions for an upgrade from 5. If I remember correctly, Mint 6 and forward is supposed to have an upgrade path like Ubuntu.

That sounds good, only problem is Mint won't boot up, i get on the boot up screen and it loads and loads and then nothing?

The livecd wouldn't pick up my wireless card properly either?

Have you tried booting in compatibility mode? Hit any key before the timer runs out to select that option.
