| + | ==== Time to Upgrade ==== | ||
| + | Now that you have the UP6 installed, and since there is no UP7 (or UP8) ISO available yet, I recommend you immediately upgrade to UP7. This might avoid you the troubles of upgrading later. When many other libraries and applications are installed, the chances to get into trouble while upgrading are increasing. | ||
| + | Follow this link to install the UP7 upgrade to your system: [[install:upgrade-up7|LMDE Update Pack 7]] | ||
