Mint 19.02 Dial up procedures with Kppp

[ray burke]

Dontas 22/3/;2023,

I know its been a long time since we have communicated , but I am
wondering that my mint 19.02 is showing to update to Tina (mate)
the next  level, so how do I upgrade without losing my Tina (cinnamon) data,
and how big is  the  update in (GB's) and how would I download an ISO disc?

Ray
