This script could be called from main.sh, for example inside the enumeration just before ./install_desktop.sh - Comments in ./install_beta_and_submenu.sh explain the simple steps to have a beta package installed and added to the new submenu. I have created a new folder ./beta_software to contain beta software scripts (now only the one for ugvsigmobile) and other files. I can see there were no folders there, I hope this is not a problem for the creation process. So someone should do this: - check that ./install_beta_and_submenu.sh makes sense - add a call to ./install_beta_and_submenu.sh from the right place - for each new beta package, follow the instructions in ./install_beta_and_submenu.sh I have tested this locally on a Xubuntu 9.10 live CD and worked fine.
