The ISO is "barren" for good reason, like some people having slow/capped internet access.

What IMO should be included (but probraly never will...) is geit's grunch (http://geit.de/eng_grunch.html) makes installing and updating SW quiet easy.


It also makes sure you're allwaysn on the newest version of those utube-scripts.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Don't install Chrysalis, just mount it's ISO image and drag and drop the apps and games you want to your work: partition.
Install Grunch too and add it to wbstartup so it will automatically update anything you have installed.


If you plan to use Grunch for updating it might also make sense to use it for actual isntalling.

This way you make sure that you won't miss any needed configuration files orv external libraries/classes (Grunch will check and autoinstall those too).

Well 108$ is about 79Euro and MorphOS is only cheaper on seriously crippled HW (Efika + Pegasos1).

But you do have a point:
- 30 mins/boot is more than enough to check wether certain apps exist and work
- 30 mins/boot is more than enough to check wether one can get the hang on how to use MorphOS
- 30 mins/boot is more than enough to check wether often visited websites work with OWB
etc etc etc

Also with a 30 day trial there would for sure be clever people finding a way to reset that counter (as it would have to be stored on disk).

If after that you still can't decide wether MorphOS is worth the equivalent of redrumloa-2-nights-out, MorphOS and yourself simple aren't made for another.
