Later i will try to make a better script. chd files and mouse settings are in the script. (if you prefer do your commands manually)Д®xtra info about creating. This is my bash script to setup the basic stuff. I have made Philips_CD-I working with lr-mess. You can read that if you want to know more about the config files. I have bundeled all information, about the configs, in my script (not working at the moment with the 'new lr-mess') : EDIT !!! : After updating lr-mess after 'oktober 2020' this script doesn't work anymore !!!
