Howdo you get the new Aros Alpha release to img file to self boot on the 1200 after its been burnt to a cd I'm trying to get with the ArosOs hype, without touching my system os. had the same issue with self booting warp os :-?

Same answer as other identical thread. AROS works on X86 :lol:
-
Duuuhh, I thought it could be viewed on AOS! my fault. Well let me find a system then thanks! Don't I feel like a genius :boohoo:

There was a 68k port but that has been unsupported for awhile. As close as you can get on 68k is AROS on Amiga. Which is a collection of various AROS parts ported to 68K as replacements or addons for various Amiga OS components.

Look in the extras directory... there is some stuff to play with in there.

2 folders networking and development couldn't get anything interesting going so far having trouble feeling my way around this Os, reminds me of Linux...hated all that typing too. any suggs?

AROS currently only supports a small number of NIC drivers. What NIC are you using? I have AROS running natively on my laptop. I can ping stuff, but the viarhine.device is not complete yet. Best bet is to use nForce1 or nForce2 mobos as they are best supported under AROS.
USB is in developement, expect beta releases shortly as are several other bounties (http://www.teamaros.org). Personally, I'm really waiting for x86_64 native, that's the one that will allow AROS to actually use the MMU. Plus the kernel is modular so grub can load kernal modules at boot.

no clue!? I just through it into my gateway and began tinkering. Wow i just realized that i have to get it to talk to the native peripherals on that system. Its been awhile since i actually did any setups! the last was poseidon any steps. i just want to see somewhat what this program can do in the early stages! :idea:

Without networking setup (depends again on what actual NIC is in your gateway box is and if it's supported in AROS), have you tried playing MP3s? How about games? Lunapaint? Yes, apps are light in AROS, but that is slowly being developed. Even more so if you do not have working network.
Since you have it fired up, how is the speed on your gateway? Can you guage on how well it will do with a native install vs CD/DVD access time? It's here now, it's working, it's being improved as time goes along and it's cost you nothing yet you can have the full source code access. If it doesn't please you, check out AROS in another six months, you may be very happy by then.

Speed wise it was fast being accessed from a cd. I imagine it being faster if it were to be installed. I did see lunapaint didn't use it yet though, but which programs plays the mp3, and in anyway how would I access it if I can't bring up any drives ( since I am using the cd) I would like to tryout a game how can I do it? It has a good field to it once i get familiar with the setup i'm sure i could get comfortable. :-o
