LMDE 6 Faye<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Warning:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The ISO images for this BETA were replaced and are now labeled “beta2”.<\/p>\n

They include a fix for a critical regression found in the installer.<\/p>\n

Although the issue only happened in particular conditions it could potentially result in the wrong device being formatted.<\/p>\n

For more information on the regression: https:\/\/github.com\/linuxmint\/lmde6-beta\/issues\/31<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thankfully this was detected internally and during the BETA phase. We haven’t heard of anyone being affected. We hope it stays that way. If you downloaded the original ISO please delete it. The installed OS itself is not affected.<\/p>\n

LMDE is a Linux Mint project which stands for “Linux Mint Debian Edition”. Its goal is to ensure Linux Mint would be able to continue to deliver the same user experience, and how much work would be involved, if Ubuntu was ever to disappear. LMDE is also one of our development targets, to guarantee the software we develop is compatible outside of Ubuntu.<\/p>\n

LMDE aims to be as similar as possible to Linux Mint, but without using Ubuntu. The package base is provided by Debian instead.<\/p>\n
