Kickstart ROM Replacement (Phase I) Bounty Assigned

[Darrin]

And to take advantage of a system that is being still developed, and has some neat modern features that AmigaOS for classics never had.

Which sounds great, as long as existing software runs on it and does n't take one look at the "new" OS and replacement ROM and decide to Guru.

If it does then stick to OS3.x and make OS3.x versions of any new AROS apps.

kickstart rom has an advantage that the system critical files cannot be easily deleted or modified by malicious software or simple oversight.
i am totally happy with the huge flash the deneb provides that can be used for this. the only complaint was that i would prefer to have all single modules loose in a plain directory instead still have to include a bootable kickstart image along. updating would be simple then.

Just out of interest, is there a site that hosts various modules that can be loaded into the Deneb?

Personally, I don't make much use of it ("No IDE" is about it), but I probably should.

@darrin: no, i suppose there is no official sites you can download kickstart modules from for copyright reasons. also not every module fits every machine. so the best thing is get romsplit and remus utilities along with the patches they provide, disassemble your kickstart, patch modules and assemble again. if something went wrong, you can always start clear of your chnges mit denebs romoff option.

Cheers.  I'll add it to my huge "to do list".  

It is a handy feature of the Deneb though, to be able to experiment and then shut it off if you make a dog's dinner of it.
