Okay I was wondering how to enable System > Administration > Software Sources on Linux Mint 6.

I want to know mainly because this is the only thing that they do not have(well took out) that makes me upset and I cannot seem to put back in...

So is there anyway to put it back in :o?

Is Synaptic installed on Linux Mint? It is included in that (don't ask me where, I can't remember :P).

Yes that is what Mint Install uses to do the initial download and install while making searching for programs easy and good looking.

Sad you can't remember where :(... I like my sources thing lol...(it saves me a few clicks darn it)

Try running
gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk

from the terminal to see if it's installed and just not included in the menus. If it's installed, then use alacarte to add it to the main menu.
