Workbench 2.1 questions

[ami500]

Ok, I got my 2.04 rom upgrade and have set up my SCSI hdd just fine.

I just want to know a couple of things with this workbench.

Where do I copy the files from the fonts disk to on the hdd? (The install kept failing and I had to manually copy the workbench disk to the hard drive).

And where do I store files such as lha (compression program) so it will always be "seen" no matter where I am in the shell? Kinda like a dos "path=" command, but permanent. EDIT: Actually, will it be the "c" directory?

Thanks.

Thanks guys. Yea I found out just by trying it not long after posting that if I put stuff into the c then it's fine and worked how I wanted.

I'll have to work on that lha thing though as when I brought a file back I compressed on the PC, the amiga lha was having a heart attack about crc errors and stuff.

Thanks for that fonts tip. I'll just make a root fonts and copy the fonts disk to it.

And a tutorial, yea, that would be nice. So far since I got my amiga a few weeks ago, I'd never had used any amiga os previously, so I've just been trying to play it by ear so far. Luckily I've been able to suss out a few things due to my dos knowledge. It's all pretty logical though so that makes it easier.

Oh, one more question, is there a way to make it always "show all files" instead of having to choose it in the menu all the time? Thanks.

After you have selected "Show >> all files" in the menu, select "Snapshot >> Window" in the same menu...

Ah, so that should be like when you are in the tools->folder options->view->folder views->apply to all folders when you are in explorer in windows? IE: It applies that view to all open and future opened windows? And does it make it so everytime you boot it's in effect? Thanks.
