It worked perfectly for me in QEMU. Great to be able to install without fiddling around with HDToolbox.

I haven't got a spare machine so a native install will have to wait for now.

All improvements to AROS are welcome though. Good stuff!

Hopefully this will have better luck. I'd like to poke around, but frankly AROS's inability to install has been a massive stumbling block..

Now to setup networking, then maybe IRC/Quake!

It's completely open and anyone can make contributions, but your point is well taken.

It's taken them, what, 6 years to go from 3.9 to 4.0?

I've been there slaving over trying to get AROS installed, and banging into bugs all over the place. Thankfully those days should be gone now.

Now I'd just need a YAM port, and an easily configurable TCPIP stack. :-D Fri, 05 Oct 2007 17:44:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (wonea) Comments
