Activate included Software (OctaMED, Final Writer, PPaint, ...) in WB installs

No, they will only run from AmiBench at the present moment.

The correct answer is YES :-) But they need access to various libraries in SystemV46, so when setting up your 3rd party OS install, tick the include global systemv46 check box. SystemV46 has boot priority of 0 so make sure your boot partition for your OS install has a priority of 1 or greater.

Then do:

Assign LIBS: SystenV46 ADD

either just before you launch the application or  perhaps in your S:Startup-Sequance, making sure it's after any LIBS: additions you need for your own  OS's needs.

I've been meaning to try and demonstrate this in a video but time is scarce.

One caveat to the above, Final Writer is an AROS 68k elf  build as supplied by the authors, so that will only wok under AmiBench or a generic AROS install. The AEon/AmigaKit softwares like OctaMED PPaint et al will run on any 68k S sbject to the LIBS needed.

The paths i a multiassign are searched in order so:

assign LIBS:  SYS:Libs (done by OS)
assign LIBS: SystemV46:Libs ADD

will look in SYS:Libs first then in SystemV46:Libs if the library needed was not found.
