Installation using the 0710 Linuxmce DVD, with keep settings option (also works if you want to switch to amd64 version) Restart the pc and insert and boot the 0710 Linuxmce DVD.

You'll be asked if you want to keep the settings from previous installation (choose "y" or "n"). After the installation is finished you'll need to remove the DVD and press enter to reboot.
