Hi :-)
Well it is Monday afternoon, I am off work, and I am bored and want to do something with my Amiga. I've decided I'm going to try and make the ultimate boot disk, since I have no HD installed. As far as I am aware I have the following disks which may be of use:
- Workbench 2.05
- X-Copy Professional
- D Copy v3.1
- Klondike (if there's room! :-))
- A disk labelled "Copycom/LHA/Vpic", (I know LHA is a
useful utility which could be included)
I'm sure I had Extras 2.05 and others somewhere too but can't seem to find them!
So any pointers? Also, I have only really used OS 3.0, 3.1 and 3.9. Does 2.05 support background images?
Thanks for any help, just a little project to keep me and my 600 busy
:-D

- Directory Opus
- Cygnus Editor

Ran into my first problem!
Booted into Workbench after digging out my mouse, but the pointer moves very very slowly. I have tried taking the ball out and giving it a good clean but it doesn't solve the situation.
Any ideas? Or is it time to get a new mouse?

Pointer Prefs?

WB 1.3 Anyone?... Wait thats the ultimate 500 boot disk, sorry.

I would if I could get to it... my Workbench disk has an error. This isn't going too well so far!
Plus I really think its a hardware problem, because it isnt just moving very slow, it's crawling and moving around a little on its own.

All Prefs programs are on the Extras disk.
I'd use WB2.1 as your base - its directory hierarchy more closely resembles 3.0+. Plus there's bugfixes and better use of RAM.
Your boot disk should probably be unmodified apart from adding the contents of cfd.lha from Aminet - then put everything else on a Flash card in the PCMCIA slot.

Virus! :-o

Do not forget about the DEVS:system-configuration file, which - under KS1.x - was used to define the screen palette, pointer image, mouse speed, printer settings etc, however is still utilised under KS2.x/KS3.x.
I do not know how this file can be edited without the original 'Prefs' program from KS1.x however.
Cheers,

I think that file is completely obsoleted by the ENVARC:Sys directory. Palette, pointer, printer, and input settings are all in there.

Thanks all, looks like I have some serious hunting to do, I'm sure I seen Extras and Fonts lying around a few days ago but they seem to have vanished! :-o
What's really lame on the mouse side of things, is that my Amiga keys and alt key aren't working so I can't even use that to move the pointer :-( I need a new keyboard!
It looks like I'm going to have to hold off this project for a while until I get all the things I need, then I'll post here again and we can take it from there
Cheers! :-D
