Do you mean the HD footprint or the RAM footprint?


Hummm.  While we're on this subject, how much is the ram footprint?  Not that it matters too much, since when I build mine I intend to get atleast 512mb, but just out of curiosity.

Also, sort of on the same subject, I've already got a MorphOS 1.4 CD.  I assume once the Peg-II motherboards are available, I can order one, plug in a new HD & CD-ROM, and this disk will autoboot & install the OS?  Or do I need some other software to format & partition the HD?

Looking forward to the day...

Regards,
Mike

Have a look here:

(etc.)

Great!  Looks very good!  Like I said, can't wait to try it!   ;-)

Is there a date posted somewhere for the release of the Peg-II motherboards?  I checked with the one company listed as a US distributor,  Ultra Spec Cables, who said it would be about 3 weeks.

(Now if only I hadn't just bought another car - drat! - it's always something - hopefully the next paycheck will cover "my other hobby"  :-D  :-D  :-D )

Thanks, thats the info I wanted. Just want to be able to compare some numbers when OS4 come out.


@ KapitanKlystron -

Sorry for all the OT posts, here's some more exact information for you, based on my 1.4 CD:

Capacity used:  37.1Mb

1,523Kb Boot image file
16.8Mb in directory "MorphOS"
13.1Mb in directory "Apps"

The rest of the CD appears to be pretty much Amiga-standard file structure, with assorted files in C, Devs, Utilities, Tools, L, Libs, Locale, S, Docs, etc., even a WBStartup directory  ;-)

Regards,
Mike
