Added Linux Mint 19.2 x64 Cinnamon Manifest & Userlist

gaining commented 5 years ago

@kcsrnd, Thanks for doing this but I verified the manifest file and it's missing resetter and its libraries. That means, if resetter were to run using it, it would essentially remove itself while resetting. What I do to avoid this is install resetter on a fresh distro and its libraries will be installed alongside it too, that way, the manifest file has resetter and all of the libraries it needs. Here's the guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VfSvEryOWU

If it's not too much trouble, it's a simple fix just install resetter and rerun resetter helper to generate the two files. Thanks again regardless.

I'll update the files and submit a new pull request.

I recommend editing the README.md for ResetterHelper and changing the line:

"Make sure to only run this program on a stock distro with no added packages other than the preinstalled ones and the Resetter binaries and libraries" and maybe add links to the Resetter main project.

Also for the Resetter README.me, I'd recommend linking to and explaining the ResetterHelper project. It's not mentioned at all. It took me a little bit of hunting to figure out how to create the manifest and userlist files at first.

Great project though.

Edit: I checked the video linked in the Resetter readme again, it only shows how to upload the files that are generated and how to create a pull request, but it doesn't show how to generate the files. After looking again now I do see a link to ResetterHelper in the video's description, but it's not mentioned in the video. I just think that part should be a little more clear in a few places.
