Download

Download minit-0.10.tar.bz2 (gnupg sig) now!

Or use the anonymous CVS archive at :pserver:cvs@cvs.fefe.de:/cvs (empty password) and check out minit.

Since so many people asked for it, here is the /etc/minit directory from by laptop as tarball.

Fridtjof Busse also wrote some documentation about minit which may help you with the setup.
