Magic Lantern 2.3 Do you install the entire download onto your SD card?

Hi Guys,

This one's got me puzzled.  Every tutorial I see on installing ML 2.3 says to install all the downloaded files.
I've got the 550D and I see the 550D-109.fir file.  So do I need the other .fir files?   There's also an autoexec.bin, the two PDF install and user guide files and then there's the ML folder with all its stuff.  So exactly what do I need to copy to my SD card?

Cheers

Pretty sure you don't need the other firmwares and the PDFs. I just unzipped the whole zip file to the card as I couldn't bother deleting them.

Thanks for your reply, Malcolm,

I suppose given that the whole file is only 5Mb it wouldn't hurt to dump the lot onto the card.  It's just a bit off-putting that there aren't any other opinions that could clarify this.  Wonder what else is left up to guesswork?

If no opinion is given it means that it doesn't matter. You can either keep everything or delete the pdf and the other .fir. I usually keep everything because so that I can demo and use ML on other cameras

Ok, so I go with the 550d fir (my camera). There's also an autoexec.bin file -- and the ReadMe file more or less says that you need this so the camera will boot.  So I guess I'll go with that.  I'm not sure about the ML folder, but I guess I'll go with that too.  A lot of guessing, but what the hey.

Why would you complicate your life, just leave everything on the card (since the guide doesn't tell you that you should remove anything)
