That's one of the ubuntu-based versions of mint? Good to know that it works. Snapshot worked on ubuntu-12.04 but not on a later version (I think it was 12.10) because some of the dependencies were missing and not available in the repository. (live-boot, live-config, etc.) It's not that the wrong versions were avialble, but that none were. The only live-* package in the repo was live-build.
Snapshot, installer and r2usb all worked for me in in Crunchbang-11 with some tweaks. Easy to install with gdebi, but they don't show up in the menu, so you have to start from a terminal.
snapshot:
Create /vmlinuz and /initrd.img symlinks OR edit the kernel and initrd listed in the config file and the boot menu file.
refracta2usb:
Change desktop settings so that removable media are not automatically mounted.
Copy the system from iso works. To copy from a running live system, I think you need to edit the script and change '/lib/live/mount/medium' to '/live/image' but I haven't tested that.
