Re: BDI upgrade path question...

Lee

I'm a slash and burn kinda person so my tendency is to just pop the cd in
and boot. This approach has on occasion led to a bit of frustration when
stuff I'd modified went away. It is by far the easiest.

I run off my custom ini files and then copy them back in. If I modified
or had to search for a special driver for my PC, I also find and copy
these. In general if the BDI 2.?? found your devices and loaded
correctly, a later version will as well.

One caution with this and very recent versions of the repository are that
we have changed a at least one variable name and have added a few others.
Before I run with the old ini, I start a terminal and issue a command
called diff.

diff "myoldfilename.ini generic.ini

Diff produces a report with > and < that shows which lines are changed
from one to the other.
