Re: AROS

I voted for SkyOS pretty much for the same reason as the rest of the people. Its development is quick which is great. My second choice would have been AROS and then Syllable.

Now, since we mentioned AROS ;) here is a small queston.

I hope I don't move too much off topic ;)

I downloaded their ISO image of their web site, the binary bootable CD format, and I created the bootable CD and all that went fine. When I reboot, a menu appears, asking me to select a screen resolution and a color depth for the Windowing environment. I do that, a blank screen appears and something keeps trying to read my floppy drive. And it just does that, keeps trying to read from the floppy and nothing happens, the blank screen remains while it keeps trying to read the floppy drive.

This is what it says on their site:


"Simply insert the boot floppy into the drive and reboot the computer. The boot is fully automatic, and if everything works you should see a nice screen after a while"


Has anyone had similar problems? I have, GeForce2 32MB MX 100/200
