Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna KDE Community Edition Released

Mint applications: mintInstall, mintwifi, mintUpdate, mintAssistant, mintUpload. Minted versions of Firefox, Sunbird. Changes since the beta release: fixed the HAL USB NTFS problem; changed some Compiz default settings to make it more KDEish and fix a known bug; added a Linux Mint user agent to Konqueror and pre-added some sites to use the Mint user agent

Linux Mint Daryna KDE CE Upgrade Notes From Beta 44.

There is really no need to reinstall or upgrade from Beta 44 since in the end I only made a few changes:

  • Fixed the HAL USB NTFS problem (there is a post in the forums).
  • Changed some compiz default settings to make it more KDEish and fix a known bug.
  • Added a Linux Mint user agent for Konqueror and pre-added some sites to use the Mint useragent. This helps people know Linux mint is out and about.
