Poor you. What a pathetic and impossible life-goal.

And again I have to call bullshit because that has NEVER happened on any system real or virtual that I've installed it into, and out of everyone else that I've suggested it to you're the only one that's ever had that problem. The only cases where I've encountered that issue are the live environment and a dodgy premade VM image.

(also you can remove the "install Linux Mint" icon from the live environment's desktop, and if persistence is enabled it'll stay gone)

Others use pot to get high. But if arguing an invalid case is your drug, well, go on. Whatever floats your boat. Have fun.

Okay despite saying that I wouldn't waste anymore time I this I did. I ran a few more tests and have an answer for you. Though I don't think you deserve it. If you install Linux mint offline the meta-package won't work. I often install Linux offline because it goes in faster and then switch to a local mirror for updating post install. That's why the meta package didn't work.

Well this is actually quite interesting. [Edit: I see you already found this out yourself while I was writing this post] If the system is installed offline and hasn't been given an updated package list by another means then it fails as per your screenshot - but once the package list has been updated it works fine. This went unnoticed because I don't typically do offline installs and installing all available updates is one of the first things I do on a fresh install.

From what you've said here it sounds like this is what happened in your case, so I apologise for calling that bullshit and I'll update the package information to warn other users in future :)

A meta-package is merely a dummy package that "depends" on bunch of other packages; it doesn't actually install any files itself. This is an easier way to install a selection of packages than typing out a long command listing them all, or installing them one-by-one. I've previously detailed ways to download packages for offline install, which would include the packages referenced by this one.

That's fine; you should use what you want to use. Everyone should use whatever they like best :)

Nice info, watching it bring some smile to my face :)

Thanks. Already pre-ordered and really looking forward to this.

I have a standing pre-order for the Ultimate Collection through... ugh, Gamestop. Part of what lit the fire was having the soundtracks available to download, but as I found out through the Steam discussion forum for the game, the soundtracks are going to be MP3 only which cheeses the onions a bit given the collection's price. I still have a short window before the order is officially processed though so I'm waffling around canceling and saving a bit of money to just grab the fourth game that I don't already happen to own and begrudgingly dumping $20+ through Gumroad to get the music to the games in a format that I could actually use and care to keep around.
