Re: [MiNT] Daily build

[Peter Slegg <p.slegg@scubadivers.co.uk>]

My approach is slightly different.

1. unpack the daily build to a safe location
2. make a back-up copy of the current mint folder
3. copy the AUTO/mint...prg to back-up for safe keeping

4. copy the daily build files over the xaaes and mint folder.
  I only copy the things I need xfs, xdd etc.

5. copy the mint...prg to AUTO making sure it has the same name
and is in the same load order (unsorted)

6. in the mint.cnf I have this line to create a link to xaloader
sln c:\mint\1-17-0\xaaes\xaloader.prg  u:\usr\bin\aes
but the link is only created not over written so delete the original
link from /usr/bin/ and make sure the line above points to the
correct folder. This step doesn't need to be done every time.

If the machine does not boot mint or xaaes then try the following
from TOS

1. replace mint...prg with the back-up
2. rename the mint folder so that it is using the back-up

I only get in a mess when I have reverted to 1.15.12 and NAES because
that sets a different link from /usr/bin
