Aros HD Installation Tutorial

[Heinz]

No. It was never meant to.
Aros is sourcecode compatible. That means, that you can compile Amiga Programs without changes for it.
You can find a lot of those programs and games on Aros-Archives or Aros-Max.

It is only binary compatible when you run it on 68k Machines.
Or you can use E-UAE that comes with Aros.

Great work Heinz .

hi all,

i may have missed it but where is the feature set of aros? i mean what elements does it have. wordprocessor or sequencer? etc. or maybe i'm being a bit opimistic in these early stages? thanks.

I agree with monami... Someone should write out a complete list of things currently completed or at least functioning in AROS. Many moons ago there was a very well done list, complete with a graphical representation of "completeness" that disappeared. I'd certainly like to see something like that again.

i've got stuck at the first hurdle. i've made my disk etc it boots i pick vga mode, as i get nothing else but a black  screen otherwise. and then i get a request for a bootable disk and the message "retrying in 5 seconds." which is an endless loop... and for some reason it's looking for a disk in the floppy drive. (as it keeps accessing the floppy.) i think i'll go try it on my other pc...

Try and dissabling the floppy in the Bios and boot again.

i got it going on my other pc! i like the look of it and i think this is the way to go for me. (with no super expensive hardware...) i like the feel of an amiga style os on a newer computer. i also like the way the os is sponsored by whoever pays for the work they want to see done.
how is the software for it going to be done? are the aros team expecting other software writers to play along in a traditional style? or are they going to be writing apps themselves? i want to see a music sequencer... thanks.
