Stupid WorkBench Question

[Holley]

Had a go at this under UAE today, and had exactly the same problem when trying to do a fresh install from scratch.

Got it sorted, but I ended up installing 3.5, then copying 3.9 to another partition, un-write-protecting that copy, then doing the 3.5 upgrade routine.  Trying to do it straight to 3.9 it missed assigns, complained about write protection etc, no matter what I did .

This was as a trial run before doing it for real. I think I'll stick with the same system there, unless anyone thinks of a better way (?).

mmm, according to the installer as long as you boot from the 3.9 emergency floppy you can go straight to 3.9.  I'll have to go find that prefs addon, as I really don't want to fart around with that on the real thing! (plenty of time for testing - my desk is piled high with all kinds of rubbish ATM )

Hmmm, I used the version of CacheCDFS that came on the original OS 3.5 CD, but was trying to make it work straight from the emergency disk to a blank harddisk image.  Anyway, it's done now - the real one will be more interesting as it hasn't been cleared off for years, and I know theres going to be lots of stuff that I've forgotten how to set up ...
