Isn't it the same package manager? It should be able to do the
same on mint. Or may be fstab can be copied somewhere and then
back at some point?

it will basically be a rolling-distribution, as some software

Truly rolling or only security updates?
Well, I'm ok with a fresh install. But can it run under the
target linux itself? Or rather what to run from the disk? Since
mint4win installation is a virtual disk, I'm not sure the
installer will find it gracefully, they're usually
partition-oriented. Not sure if this eliminates problem with
fstab though.
