New features in Linux Mint 11
Linux Mint 11 comes with updated software and brings refinements and new features to make your desktop even more comfortable to use.
Multimedia codecs and extra applications
Linux Mint 11 comes as a liveDVD. A liveCD is also available for people without a DVD burner or
distributors established in the USA and Japan. The liveCD comes with less applications, no multimedia codecs and no restricted software, making it fit within 700MB and safely distributable in countries where the legislation allows patents to apply to software.
From the liveCD, the installation of codecs and extra applications is now easier than ever.

You'll notice two links in the Welcome Screen:
    Upgrade to the DVD Edition
    Install Multimedia Codecs

There are also links in the Menu:
    Menu->Sound and Video->Install Multimedia Codecs
    Menu->Administration->Upgrade to the DVD Edition
