Do some of you know any good tutorial sites for beginners.

It keeps telling me I need to install XFDMaster.
So I donwloaded it with my PC used CrossDOS to read it into my amiga.

I cant install it because there aint an executable.
What am I suposed to do with it.

(ps I realy dont know much about the system, so be gentle :-))

Well it looks like I have to dig up some books from somewhere because it doesnt work

I downloaded the file and copied it into my C folder

4.Workbench:C>
In this folder is the xfd_User dir that was extracted.

When I run the antivir program it still gives the error message.

Well everbody needs a hobby  :-P
This should keep me busy

Well fly,

10 years ago I was a proud owner of a amiga 500.
I borrowed some diskettes from friends of mine.
before I knew it almost al my floppy's where infected.
I could not boot from the floppy's  anymore.
And because the 1200 has a hd, I dont want to get infected

Im using my pc to send downloaded games and programes to my amiga.
and I dont want my 1 week of work to be destroyed.

 :-D

I installed VirusExecutor and it seems to be working.
Do those programs automaticly scan floppy's when inserted ?  :-D
