Quote:Hi Mike,
Depending on the urgency/ importance you might want to consider waiting for LL 3.0 that is basically around the corner as Jerry pointed out in another post. As LL 3.0 will require a new installation anyway. So you could avoid having to perform two installations within a short time frame. Just crossed my mind while reading your post...

- updating/upgrading failing in gui (though terminal method works)
- gparted doesn't open (either with gui or terminal) - 'hal-lock' issue
- I can burn DVDs (e.g. distro iso files) but recently they aren't recognised
  when I try to play them, whereas my older DVDs are recognised and do play
  on the same laptop set-up.

I never take anything for granted. Like my iso or delta file not becoming corrupted during the download process.
Since the Linux Mint site hack. Our developer signs the isos now with posted steps on how this check is done  and everything I download goes through a md5sum , sha1sum, inspection process.
So that my testing run reports are legit and credible. So to avoid further ghost in the machine headaches from a corrupted iso download. I suggest you start md5sum checking any linux-lite iso.
