Q. I am wondering how do you install Linux mint Debian on a USB stick from Linux mint 11 lxde or lubuntu 11.10. I tried the start up disk creator but nothing came up and it only recognized my USB drive how to i install the Debian edition of Linux mint off of Linux mint lxde or lubuntu if the start up disk creator wont recognize the image I downloaded.
A. you need to be running on either a Live CD or a Live USB to install an OS.
I use a USB because it is quick and simple, and I like to recycle.
I believe there are other tools but I use unetbootin to configure the USB stick
unetbootin can be installed from the Software Manager
information on unetbootin here> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

How can I activate my graphics card driver in my Linux Mint Debian Edition?
Q. I just installed Linux Mint Debian Edition(LMDE). Unlike the Ubuntu based Mint, This one can't automatically detect the graphics card and doesn't show the notification in the tray, so I can't use animations and Compiz effects.
Any help?

Questioning the mentality of Debian purists with regards to the spurning of Linux Mint Debian Edition.?
Q. It is quite understandable why there is noise from the Debian purists about Ubuntu and Ubuntu based distros. but Linux Mint Debian Edition surely they are spurning their own 'The Wonderful World Of Linux Politics'
Your thoughts ?

A. Mint Debian is the next Ubuntu, now that Ubuntu has gone off the deep end. This is assuming Clem finds competent help in developing it. Can you imagine Mint's tiny team serving a community as large as Ubuntu's? It's inhuman as it is, the stellar OS they put out for what seems to be the whiniest userbase of any distro (read the blog comments). Everyone has a completely uninformed, kneejerk opinion in the Linux world, so I just ignore the average user's crankiness. I doubt it's Debian purists who object to LMDE, more like Debian posers who think an OS is a status symbol. Ignore them. Mint Debian does need a bit of refinement --at least it did when a tried it a few months ago-- but I feel it's the future. We'll even get used to Gnome 3 somehow...we'll have to, and it's improving every day from what I can tell, though I don't use it.
Think of the whiners switching to XFCE because they don't like Gnome 3, or the huge hissy fit that erupted when KDE 4 was released. I sit in bemused observation of every supposed crisis. The open source community mostly consists of reasonable and knowledgeable people, it's the newcomers to Linux that form factions and are demanding; the same ones who throw a fit about every little bug but have never filed a bug report, and if they did file a bug report it would be more nonconstructive b1tching anyway. Don't even take them seriously.
