Title: Icaros Desktop 1.2.2 available for download
Post by: paolone on May 28, 2010, 11:51:53 AM
The popular AROS distribution Icaros Desktop has now reached version 1.2.2. This updates bring better classic Amiga HW emulation with the newest Janus-UAE, includes many new programs and fixes and, above all, can be installed on USB pendrives, which can be used to boot most modern motherboards and laptops. Icaros Desktop 1.2.2 acts like usual updates (so it can be installed loading the ISO with Icaros' Live Updater), but it can also boot by itself like AROS nightly builds. More news here:

improved hardware compatibility - Icaros now boots on many more configurations

Does this include Intel Atom/Netbook support?

Any chance of a non torrent link for the update. I'm not using a torrent client here.

Good to know! Does it have a similar level of support as the recent iMica updates (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=52883)?
