Re: [MiNT] Install script

"touches every file"
yes, this is because it copy (or moves) files. unlike the
"kernupgr.sh" script which extract directly from tar.bz2

but then again, you are the first to mention it..

as for your other comments about "full install".. the script already
does a lot, uses lots of binaries (unlike the "kernupgr.sh") so I dont
see why it could not include that things you ask for.. (would add at
least "touch", "wget" or "curl", and tons more error checking)

however some issues are:
not all required files can be easily found (I have almost everything
ready for a zip tho)
people need to report script issues, otherwise it can not be improved
some parts of upgrade are already done with EasyMiNT
un bz2 freemint on real hardware is extremely slow

I will look into some of the things you mention.. the biggest problem
here tho is getting it tested on real hardware.. or common setups that
I currently dont use (Windows with CF/SD/USB)

If you could provide me with what you did to successfully get
"Minipack" run on your machine (links, steps, etc) I would be happy to
look at integrating int a full upgrade script (not just FreeMiNT
upgrade)

BTW there is considerable help text in "mintupgr.sh" - but it may
still be missing the info you are looking for, so let me know it if
that is the case
