I installed V2.0 on my AthlonXP machine.
I like it a lot.
I can tell that there is a lot added to it.
I have yet to really get into it.
The install seems to be just like 1.5.2.
Congratulations to the Devs:

Thanks. We've done our best to add the best AROS software and to keep installation simple.

Had a quick play with the hosted qemu version and it looks good. Is there a simple/quick guide anywhere which explains how to mount ntfs formatted drives which I believe it can do?

thanks

If ntfs-handler is in "SYS:L", NTFS partitions should be mounted automatically. If it's not there, you can probably copy it from "SYS:Storage/L".

Thanks for your reply, I had a look and it is already in there. I think it needs adding in the batch file, i tried a few options having looking in google such as

-hdc ntfs:/dev/hda   or \\.\PhysicalDrive0    etc and it is drive 0 but it then doesn't start the emu. I will try installing it on a spare drive instead of running in qemu and try again :)

Sorry, I missed where you said you were running it in QEmu. I was talking about a native install.

You'd be better off using VirtualBox or VMWare. Then you can use a virtual SMB share to access your host drives.

Good idea, will try virtualbox first :)

I love the new version, it is on one of my four hard drives. I was so excited when I saw that there was a new version released! LOL :P
