Installer
From SpareMiNT Wiki
(Just started a feature list for the installation program. -Jo Even)
[edit] Feature list
- The installer is a single program and is a part of the FreeMiNT archive.
- Autodetects machine type and CPU, and copies the correct kernel to <boot>\auto.
- Removes unneccessary binaries (inappropriate kernels and modules) depending on machine type/CPU.
- When installing from scratch:
- Asks the user a few questions (desktop, some paths).
- Edits mint.cnf and xaaes.cnf accordingly.
- If the tools are present, the system is set up to use them (TosWin, fscheck).
- When upgrading an existing installation:
- Binary files are overwritten.
- Config files are not touched.
[edit] Use cases
- The user has unpacked the FreeMiNT archive (should it be self-extracting?) to the root of the boot-drive, and starts mint\setup.prg.
