With Linux, open in home directory:

I then move my old saved rig files to the new directory or one could just save the rig files in a separate file and always save to that separate file. When happy with the new build, delete the old one.

Eh? You have no problem installing but want to know how
to install? I'm
confused :)
It's probably worth stating that trying the daily builds under linux is best done from a terminal window (a command line session). It's possible to do with with a graphical file manager, but is easier from the command line. On linux, daily build don't need to be installed so there will be no menu entry or desktop launch icon.
- Download the daily build to some place in your home
directory (or even /var/tmp) 2. make a new, clean temporary directory for the daily build 3. cd into that directory and use tar to unpack the daily build there. 4. Run the daily build by typing ./chirpw. The ./ is important to run the chirpw in the current directory and not a previous version that got installed on the system in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
Hope this helps, --Rob
The daily builds are complete. Just extract the tar.gz,
which will
create a versioned directory as a result. Go in there
and run chirpw
manually, or do the normal install process as you would
with any release.
I would recommend not installing the daily builds into
your system, just
because python's distutils doesn't make it easy to
uninstall things, and
since the daily builds could change so much day to
day.
It's pretty easy to just run chirpw from within the
daily directory that
the tarball extraction creates.
