Title: Boot Amithlon from HD
Post by: Tension on June 05, 2008, 03:24:59 PM
Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I could not find any other relevent threads about this.

I have got the Amithlon CD, and it boots up ok from the CD ROM. I want to take it to the next level and make the PeeCee boot Amithlon from the Hard Drive so I can change settings / install programs etc.

I have a few HDs lying about the place (doesn`t everyone...) and would like to know what I have to do to get the Amithlon installed on HD.

I have no knowledge of linux, so the information on most websites is very confusing.  If I plug in a FFS formatted HD to the PeeCee, will Amithlon read it? Surely a PeeCee won`t boot from FFS?

Also, can Amithlon access the USB ports / ethernet port on the PeeCee?

Thanks in Advance, I love this place!!!

Do you want Amithlon to be the only OS on this PC or will you be running it along side Linux or Windows?  Amithlon_setup2.lha on Aminet is a really good guide for setting up Amithlon with WindowsXP.  Also, do some searching for Amithlon on the web and try to find the latest kernel and drivers.

Yes, I want Amithlon to be the only OS on the machine.

Any ideas people??  I`m stuck and de-moralised...
