Why was there nothing after os 3.9?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Using 3.9 with BB1-4 on my main A2000.  There are a few additional updates, including the latest version of the Peter K icon library, plus a few tools included in 3.9 & the BB's that have been updated (tip: just type the name of every tool included in 3.9 into the Aminet search field), but overall I like it a lot.  Thanks for chiming in, Thomas, for your hard work!

Bah.  Turning on your system can also lead to "instability".  So can getting up out of bed in the morning.  They install very easily, just a couple clicks, if you're that worried make a backup you can restore from, first.  Why use 3.9 in the first place, if you don't want "the latest & greatest"?  Might as well stick with 1.2.

The argument could also be made that anything after the last official C= release is a "hack fest", since they strap on many previously freely distributable or commercial utilities, many of which could otherwise just be downloaded from Aminet and installed on a C= era system.  

But no worries Magnetic, I'm just trying to get you riled up, lol.  Good luck with your system, OP!

You can please some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time.  They installed great for me, zero issues and I like having my system as "up to date as possible".  Obviously with 20+ year old hardware and software, your mileage may vary.  Glad you made that backup!

Hi thank you my friend truly grateful for your help, I carefully followed all the literature to the last word using a cold boot when asked too, and bare in mind I installed the boing bags at the same time to both the Amiga 1200 and the Amiga 600 and once the automatic start up had altered the start-up sequence both the 1200 and the 600 failed to boot so having made up emergency boot discs soon had both up and running and started to proceed with the installation again but choosing not to alter the start up sequence and I have to say both machines are powering along and hard to fault, so I may leave well alone, very best wishes Brian.

I'm having a really hard time understanding what you're saying here.  Not trying to come across like a jerk, but could you use some periods in your sentences?  

If you're still having trouble, try posting a copy of your startup-sequence and maybe someone here can help you figure out why it's not booting?  Another thing I've done before that I found helpful was to put an "echo 1" "echo 2", etc., between each line of the startup-sequence.  Then as each line executes it will print a number on the screen.  This can help you determine where it's crashing.  Good luck!

That is an awesome tip.  I'm sure I'll forget all about it by the next time I need to use it, lol.    Thanks though!  :drink:
