Understanding Amiga file-system.
« on: June 17, 2003, 09:13:25 AM »
Hello Gents, I recently spent some $ in setting-up AmigaOS in WinUAE0822R7 (Kickstart 3.1, Workbench 3.1, I followed the procedure from the Jumbo website:

http://jambo.abime.net/howto.php?view=1

Needles to say all went well with setting-up as they explained. I had to purchase AlfredChicken Game to complete the setup, any ways all went well. Now I managed to download some free games and most of them work fine when I boot them fron FD0, FD1.. and so forth.

Later I learn't that You can obtain the WHDload installer from:

http://www.whdload.de/

Please forgive me I'm new to all this Amiga realm, Any ways I download the Installer *.lha file and used the command in AmigaDOS window as follow:

lha x programs:AlfredChicken.lha programs:

Which extracted the files for installation to the programs: directory ok. That mush I understand. Afterwards I closed the CLI windows and open program folder and Run the Installer Icon for AlfredChicken I followed the installer closely and pointed to the install disk1 and all was completed 100%.

I tried to follow the same procedure for other games and ran into various problems. Some of the Installers is for JST I download and installed this one to and MAN this is frustrating.

I can't seem to get anything right at the moment, so I taken a breather and thought that I must brush-up on getting to know the file-system firts before I go and install programs left-right  and centre. Where can I get sound information on installing programs & Games in which directory, Prefs>, system:, C:, As you's can see I new and need a bit of guidens.

Best Regards,
Amiga Junior.
