Title: AmigaSYS 3 Plus Live 07 for USB!
Post by: DaryASYS on November 21, 2007, 11:29:21 PM

Newest version goes USB
If you never heard of AmigaSYS live, please read the 'older versions' chapter below.
I have decided that it would be much nicer if one had a bootable AmigaSYS on a USB stick instead of having to boot from a separate CD.

Here are some pros and cons:  

PROS:  
Takes less space to take with you.  
USB sticks/drive are becomming very affordable  
CD's damage more easily

CONS:  
Not all computer can boot from a USB drive  
Not everyone has a USB stick big enough

Tell me if there's more...
Requirements and steps to take to get started:
I've made an instrustions movie for those who'd like to see how next steps are done.

Step 1: Pick a USB drive which is at least 512MB! in size and format this drive FAT or FAT32.
Step 2: Copy the extracted Kick Rom file from your Amiga (or use the Cloanto's Kickrom you bought) plus the "Workbench" and "Extra's" disk images (amigaos 3.0 or 3.1) to the freshly formatted USB drive.
Step 3: Burn the ISO file (from download section) onto CD and boot from CD.
Step 4: Follow the instructions, when finished type "restart".
Step 5: Boot the computer from USB and set up the AmigaSYS environment.

Once you're done, it's very easy to boot your customizable AmigaSYS environment on modern PC's!

Could not sleep, had to stay up and try this out, and am running it right now! As per the instruction video I was able to easily set this up and get it running, so far so good, I've not ran too many tests, but it is running and the speed is nice! :)

CD's do not auto mount which really takes away from the virtual Amiga experience. I'd like a kit where I don't have to see Linux except at boot time if possible!

 So anyhow...

...how do I mount CD's with this version of Linux?
