NOTES
- LMDE uses rolling updates; so once installed it becomes current version each time it is updated.
- Use linuxmint-debian-201101-gnome-dvd-i386.iso older versions (including torrents) were bad
- Make USB Installer Stick
We actually made the ISO compatible with unetbootin so you may have more luck there. http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Notes for Installation on VirtualBox 4.0
- Use gparted on Live DVD to format the 8-10 GB VirtualBox HD

- How to write to USB disk
- Download to desktop
- Use "mount command to see USB address: ie: /dev/sdb; /dev/sdc; /dev/sdd....etc
- Or use gparted to see USB address
- dd command is VERY DANGEROUS; if you use wrong address you will distroy your Hard Drive with no warning.
- In root terminal #:
cd Desktop dd if=linuxmint-debian-201101-gnome-dvd-i386.img of=/dev/sd(x)
How to Make a 2 GB Installer USB disk
