You can use this (http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=showfile&file=emulation/utility/winarosstart.exe) to add any file you like.

I use a similar program to write to the "virtual cd". it works great and I have been able to copy newer versions of Lunapaint to my copy of AROS lite easily.

I hope they get the download problem solved quickly!

Extracting an Archive in WinUAE, that is meant for usage under Windows doesnt make much sense, doesnt it ?

i hate to install programs in windows - but yesterday I did (the 7z program. And even before you suggested it here. I'm just loath to deal with windows too much).

all went well and now I have my WinAROS not only on the HD but the flash drive.
there's nothing quite as fun as having a portable amiga OS that I can show people!

thanks for the patience.


I found an amiga 7z program before I broke down and decided to use the windows version and it really does work in WinUAE - there just wasn't enough memory to get the job done. So, I lost nothing by trying.
