Clem just released the upgrade tool:
http://www.linuxmint.com/blog/?p=481

You could just upgrade to Mint 6 with that

Run this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install mintupgrader-elyssa-main

Then go to Menu>administration>Upgrade to Mint 6

I beg you pardon if I did not explained myself correctly

Im just wanting to install the software manager without installing mint 6.

Just edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and enable the elyssa romeo repo, start up Synaptic and refresh and you will be able to update mintInstall.

Open a terminal and type:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Find this section:

Code: Select all

## +++ Romeo (unstable) +++
# deb http://packages.linuxmint.com felicia romeo

And uncomment it (delete the #):

Code: Select all

## +++ Romeo (unstable) +++
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com felicia romeo

Then just run "sudo apt-get update" and you have romeo enabled.
