How to install Aros For Amiga onto an amiga?

[Calimeiro]

There have to be 3 entries in s-s:

c:morelibspace reboot ; as first line if not done othwise

a bit later, after assigns to env: etc.

c:Assign AfA_OS: Sys:Afa_os_libs ; check your pathes

and finally before calling Iprefs

c:AfA_os_loader


thats it, you're done.

Have fun

Don't know what you expect to be a more modern interface.
Attached a screenshot of AfA running with "Abyss" as skin.

Before starting AfA_OS make sure that your screenmode is set to truecolor (24bit). Afa_os_iconlib and skinning won't work without. It is likely that your system crashes badly if you try though.

Move "c:morelibspace REBOOT" to top of file, just to be sure nothing else interferes here.

I've checked the wrong assignment you set to Afa_. Surprisingly this doesn't stop AfA.

There must be a typo elsewhere, if a "wrong argument" pops up.
I don't know what causes Iprefs to crash.

For error checking please set a ";" (no quotation marks) infront of every line from AfA setup.

e.g.:
;c:morelibspace
;Assign Afa_ .....
;c:Afa_os_loader

this marks the following as a comment so this command won't be executed

Reboot and check if WB starts correctly.


What's your Kickstart version? 3.1 is required.

Cybergrfx or P96 running fine?

Check files and folders. Are all AfA files copied properly?

And a personal note:
If you copy&paste scripts, batch files or code snippets then use "#" from toolbar to wrap it for better readability.

And finally, this a forum. It's not a chat, instant messenger, hotline or your personal help desk. If you impaciently insist on help or answers you'll get quite the opposite of that. Nobody will help.

Sorry, if it's me driving you out, sometimes i tend to sound "rude".

No, you can't give up that easy :quickdraw:

I'm struggling with Amithlon for about 4 years now. I NEED HELP. :uzi:

What should we do with our discontinued machines, if not trying to make the impossible possible?

And don't take me too serious. In most cases i'm not :biglaugh:

Cheers :drink:

[Calimeiro]

That's disappointing.

Same documentations mentioned to put
c:wait 1
before calling Iprefs, the delay is in seconds.
Did you try that?
2 seconds wouldn't hurt.

I've done a fresh and clean install. CyberGX this time.
Except for a little typo, everything else went without flaws or errors.

I remember once i'd encountered nasty crashes when workbench showed up, any click gave me stripes on screen and system locked.
But it's long since and i forgot the reason for this behaviour.

Well. some nitpicking:
Amiga OS has never been case sensitive.
Placing morelibspace behind setpatch should be tested before recommending.
Attach s-s or wrap them with tags. it's bad style to put these wall of text in a thread.
A ; at the end of a line should not cause any trouble but makes no sense without a comment.

I've asked for screenmode and Kickstart. Still no answer. Are any of those boing bags installed? Has OS 3.9 been updated?
Blizkick or any other rom mapper installed?
What RTG system is installed?

[Calimeiro]

There is no sign of any of those prefs programs for your M1230XA.
Where do you start those tools?

[Calimeiro]

It's very easy to import a s-s from other users, if they attach the s-s as a text file :biglaugh:

Your system specs looks quite average. So AfA_OS might fail on Voodoo/Mediator settings?

You mentioned grim reaper. How did you set up this? Afaik reaper is part of OS4.

Are you using CGX or P96?
