Title: New AROS snapshot available
Post by: Tjodden on July 04, 2002, 11:40:28 PM: I have made a new binary and source snapshot release of AROS. Thought it might be a good idea, since there aren't any nightly builds available and the latest snapshot release was 7 months ago. :)

You can download it from SourceForge, at the AROS download page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43586&release_id=97940

I haven't done much testing, but i386-pc does boot on my machine atleast. :) There's a huge number of changes since the last snapshot which I won't go into (since I don't really remember them all). One new thing to play with though is Zune (our MUI clone) which is included in this release (in contrib).

Post by: 4pLaY on July 05, 2002, 04:07:19 AM: There might be a note that AROS REALY needs more developers there is only a handfull of semi active guys. There is also need for people to do documentation and translations

Post by: Coder on July 05, 2002, 02:27:32 PM: I did not find the time at home yesterday to try out the floppy version. I am at work now and I am downloading the iso file. I will give that a try very soon.

Post by: Coder on July 05, 2002, 02:43:25 PM: I booted with the cd version but it keeps asking "insert boot disk" after it has been loading for a few secs. Maybe I give the floppy version a try.

Post by: Coder on July 06, 2002, 12:43:04 AM: I tried out the floppy version a bit and I must say it is pretty cool. Is Zune on any of these other "distro's" then? Or is it still in the working status and not out there to try it out?

Yes, it's in the CD-ROM image, under the contrib/Zune directory.
