* All Mint 10 features * 64-bit support * Performance boost (using cgroup, the notorious “4 lines of code better than 200″ in user-space) * Installer improvements (multiple HDDs, grub install on partitions, swap allocation, btrfs support) * Better fonts (Using Ubuntu’s libcairo, fontconfig and Ubuntu Font Family) and language support (ttf-wqy-microhei, ttf-sazanami-mincho, ttf-sazanami-gothic installed by default) * Better connectivity and hardware support (pppoe, pppoeconf, gnome-ppp, pppconfig, libgl1-mesa-dri, libgl1-mesa-glx, libgl1-mesa-dev, mesa-utils installed by default) * Better sound support (addressing conflicts between Pulse Audio and Flash) * Updated software and packages
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
- /boot ext4 500 /7000 ext4 swap=balance
- Install to HD
- edit partitions to format as ext4 and as /boot; /; and swap
- Finish installation and reboot
- Note this same procedure works to install to a 8GB USB
2GB Live USB

- How to write to USB;
- 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 2GB Installer USB
- Use the 32 bit version to make a 32 bit USB and 64 bit to make 64 bit USB
