=====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.
