Hey Matt, how could I donate money to AROS? I'd offer my services,  but I don't code. =^\ Now, if you guys need some graphics or anything, ask. Can't wait until that NVidia driver and the TCP Stack are up. ^_^

I you want to donate money, just send an Email to Dammy, as he runs the bounty program.


Cool! I'll hit him up. Granted, I'm a poor bastard, but I'm sure every little bit helps.

As for contributing to aROS, you can contribute anything you like! Our user docs are always in need of freshening up if you fancy looking over them.


Sure, I'd love to read over the docs. I'm a grammar whore.  :-P Gives me something to read. If you guys need some help with something, point me the way.

We always need people to fire up and test AROS too, and send back bug reports!


I have a CDRW used exclusively for AROS. I usually just boot it, so all my Amiga friends go 'oooh' and 'aahhh'. Same thing they did, when I showed them Amithlon. I'm afraid to attempt to install it, 'cos of the dodgy IDE problem. :nervous: My CD is an old one, though. Back from October, I believe. :-? I'm not sure if the IDE issue was fixed, but there's a bounty for a new driver, so I'm still a bit worried.

I have attempted a Hard drive install and it worked fine... though sooooooooooo slow, but once it was done it ran great.


Kewl! I take it that it's bootable or will I have to use Grub? Would it run decent on a k62 450 with 128MB of ram?? I might grab the newest version and give it ago.

when you run the install program (found in the tools dir), the Harddrive will become a self booting AROS drive.


HAHAHAHAHA I was too busy cooing 'ooohs' and 'aaahhhs' with all my friends, 'cos it's Amiga running on X86, to notice. I was too busy going 'look at the pretty workbench.' and 'OOOOH! It's got Prefs!!'

I have never run it on a K6 (but I did get it to boot a 486), this could be the first time we have had someone ty it


Okay, I'll grab the newest version and give it a go. I'll let you know how it runs and if I find any bugs or nuances with it. Is the install pretty straight forward or are there some docs that I should read first?

6. Machine will boot into AROS... if it doesn't, something bad has happened... Just in case you hadn't already guessed that


So what are you telling me, it might install windows?? :-P  :-P  :-P
