foss_offis there a way a to 'safely' upgrade using dist-upgrade from mint_18.x_64 to mint_19.x_64 without backing up whole filesystem off to external drive?17:28
DonkeyHoteiif it were ubuntu, the answer would be yes. with mint, ymmv and you're better off asking where people have more knowledge of how mint does things17:29
foss_offDonkeyHotei: yeah been there done that to #mint.x rm's ty17:30
DonkeyHoteiubuntu has 'upgrade-manager'17:31
DonkeyHoteimint probably does too, but that doesn't mean it will work the same17:31
foss_offmy 'issue' is my current externals full >>> don't know when i can get to shop to get another large one + want to learn how to do it safely is poss.17:32
DonkeyHoteiyou do need space for downloads with any kind of upgrade17:33
foss_offmain reason for wanting to move versions is horrible NetworkManager applet problem in gui wont stay on panel none of [Solve] pages work may i paste for you to look at?17:35
