I've now managed to solve this: I created a live Linux Mint 17.3 USB using Startup Disk Creator, which booted successfully.  The boot process wasn't entirely straightforward - I encountered an error ...

    Thread: Automatic Upgrades in Series 3.x
Post: Re: Automatic Upgrades in Series 3.x

Thanks Jerry.  I assume the difference is that Firefox was part of the base version of series 2, ie 2.0, whereas Systemback was added in a later version.  Is that the general principle, therefore Syst...

Hi gibbo, welcome to the forum.  You're right - LL doesn't tell you when updates are available.

Hi Wirezfree, Although it's a while since I used the "replace existing installation" option, I'm sure that it formatted and used the entire drive.

Hi pauloz, Just adding my contribution to try to clarify things for you. If you do decide on a completely fresh install to replace the existing Lite 2.2 installation, the installer will allocate th...

Post: Re: Desktop Icon needed or not ?

Hi oxo42.  You can get rid of it by going to Menu/Settings/Desktop/Icons - under Default Icons, uncheck the items you don't want. I'm looking at LL2.2, but I think it will be similar in 1.0.8.
