Hi

I have a old laptop just lying around here, and I wanna give it a new life with AROS. Since it has no CDROM (yeah, I have a parallel CDROM unit, but NO WAY to install AROS CD FROM IT), I have tried the floppey version available to download in the official aors page.

I boot, but when It gets the first shell screen, it displays somewhat like

assign: error
run: error
execute: error

Error or not found, I dont remember at all.

Another strange bit is taht I can not bootup the floppy with the HD recongnised by bios, or it will not bott up at all

What I can do here?

Regards

Are you able to give more details of the Laptop?

its a 486 DX4 with 4 MB Ram, 31, B HD and 256 color screen

I know its crappy, but its better than nothing :-D

@falemang

I have tried every packages in the web in several flippies. None works at all

There might be a problem with AROS on anything under a Pentium...

I am unable to test any machine less than a Pentium 233MHz now (Since my P75 died/ was murdered).

I've just had a thought!!! what software are you using to write the disk with?

Try the build on my site, it oems wioth the latest version of Rawrite:

Matt's AROS page

-Edit- I've just noticed the Floppy Image link on my site is broken (how come nobody emailed me about this :-D).

You know I got to ask (again). Aros/Pegasos anything? :-)

Real soon now (tm)

On Schedule and Rockin' (tm)

I've seen it running on a Pegasos, it's 99% complete! (tm)


-Disclaimer- Some of the above staments may or may not be true.

Ok, the good news, Michal's wife has given birth to a lovely a little baby girl, and in celebration of this has worked hard to get the PCI system sorted out... which I am confidently informed will speed the Peg port... :-)

What is the lastest *Stable* version?

I haven't had a play with AROS in a few months, I wanna see what's new.

Last nights build seems to work ok, just pop over to the AROS website and check out the downloads section, at the bottom of the page there is a table with the last three nights buils in it :-)
