AmigaSYS "Amiga Alive" problem

[MickJT]

Anyone actually got this going?

I made the knoppix.img file using my Knoppix CD and a lot of stuffing around to enable write permissions to the usb flash drive. ... and then editing the script.uae file to make the file a couple meg smaller so it'd fit on my "almost but not quite 128meg" flash drive.

So, I pop in this AmigaSYS Amiga Alive CD, press enter, it boots up, loads e-uae, then.. the amiga dos screen.. it seems that every file is "write protected".. who cares? just cause a file is write protected shouldn't stop me from running it.

If I type in jibberish like slkljk, it says unknown command, that's good, type S, nothing happens (that's good, means it went into S), type Dir, and it says file is write protected.

ahh!!! what now? I tried again, did chmod -R 777 before making the .img file.. No luck. Same prob.

I'm not a novice, I feel like i've been using Amigas since I was born..

The problem is, I can't run anything.. It just says the file is write protected, how can I run "protect"? I can't..

The only thing I might be able to do, is.. nah.. I don't know how E-UAE is set up on it, and what drives are there.. otherwise I would have tried running "protect" from a diff location.

I'd run it from DF0:, but of course crossdos isn't loaded.

There's really nothing I can do.. Even if I modify the startup-sequence script before making the .img.. No good, startup-sequence doesn't even run. So, hmm.. The script does chmod 777 though, maybe it's just too many permissions to handle at one time... but I haven't seen anyone else complaining.

I'm pretty sure it's unrelated.. I'll email the author of Amiga Alive and point him to this thread.
