AmigaOS 3.2.3 update available

If your entire setup was in Welsh, would you still leave an anglosaxon “RAM Disk” on the desktop?

If you read the license, you will see that it’s a requirement that you set locales according to the location of the system, and so I set mine to Norwegian, but since we have two official variants of Norwegian, but only one being supported in the OS (and thus also breaking some regulations), I had to make my own locales despite the necessary files to do so not being available. Also I had to grab some code from the leaked OS sources to fix .country and .language files. Anyhow, "RAM Disk" is not good Norwegian, as we (like all Germanic languages except one) compound words consistently without spaces, and with hyphens following acronyms, so it would have to be "RAM-disk". But I prefer "Minne", as in "Memory", it isn’t a "disk" by any means, just a file system in memory.

Ye, lucky you. The “just use RAM:” is a bogus argument, both because a lot of software expand to volume name (rightfully so, normally you wish to adress the filesystem, and not the device the filesystem is atteched to, which might change over time), and because of the way the bug manifests itself - enter “ram:” in path gadget (dopus 4.12 on 68000) and it expands to just “:”, which isn’t ram: but rather root of whatever context dopus started from.

(Of course you’re Welsh, so quick to be on the defense regarding ram…)

Oh come on, your going abit to far now. Just trying to understand an issue I have never come across in the whole time I have used an Amiga since 1988.

That wasn’t aimed at you Chris but our resident bored Sheldon Lee Cooper who loves to put out facts. 😉
