Title: New Amiga Forever Info?
Post by: novaburst on April 06, 2004, 05:24:39 AM

I really like Amiga Forever and use it a lot.
I noticed they announced 6.0 Saturday at AmiGBG. I was looking here hoping to find more info, but I do not see much?

Anyone know much about it?

When will it be available for purchase? Because as soon as it is, I'm buying!!

All I've found so far is this (http://www.amigaforever.com/kxlight/).

At the end of the KX Light boot process the GNU/Linux version of UAE is started, featuring the Amiga Forever 3.X Amiga OS environment

Is the Linux version of UAE as advanced as WinUAE though?

I would like to see the efforts of Bernie(thlon), Cloanto, KMOS and Hyperion combined...  :-)

This preliminary KX Light section is being placed online for the launch of Amiga Forever 6.0, and will soon be extended to cover FAQs, instructions for USB, flash and hard disk installation, etc.

Hmmm, being able to install it on a CF card, or a USB key? That's neat. Truly portable. Especially if you are able to 'slipstream' additional files/apps/settings so that you have your own Workbench Wherever/Whenever/Forever(tm).

UK residents Re: 'Leaving' the CD in a 'friends' machine: Sooooo much fun could be had at Dixons/Curries/PC World. Their, ahem, in-store "experts" will be having kittens with this. Especially if it could be made to be resident in memory and still work without the disk inserted.

I wonder if this can be installed into a modded X-Box?

This will be cool.  I know a few people including my dad who will crap bricks when the Amiga OS boots instead of windows.   :lol:

Would have made a great April fools joke.  But I know I would not be able to wait until next year.  Just to naughty for that.   :-D

Very nice!

Can't wait until they get the new info up!

You could even take advantage of an old pc system you have lying around. Bam!! Brand new Amiga!
