31 steps to AmigaOS 3.9 usability

Nice work Guliver,

Yes, there should be a preconfigured upgrade patch to help people take advantage of newer code written to enhance OS3.9.

If I had more free time and just a little more confidence in my ability to script such an upgrade program.

Thanks for doing the research and providing the list of your steps.  I hope other knowledgeable Amiga users here will review it and make their own recommendations or alteration to your steps, so a consensus can be attained regarding the best upgrades that should be used. :-)

I'd like to see an unofficial boing bag put together. Either an installer that includes all of the important upgrades or maybe a script that grabs the individual packages from the net.

There already is such an automatic script (included in AmiKit):





If anyone is interested in adapting the script to the "real" Amiga, just let me know (PM).

All the unofficial OS3.9 patches can be found here.

I am sure I asked you for such a script for "Real Amigas" last year, but the answer was maybe later when you had more time.  Do you have more time now?  I think that many users would like their high end (at least 68040/40mHz or faster) Classic Amigas to look as good and have all the features you have put together for Amikit.  I know that I do!

And thanks again for all the work you have done in putting together Amikit.  I have donated and will probably do so again soon.  It is a great way to demonstrate the AmigaOS to non-Amiga users that don't know anything about our "Hobby OS".

@AmiKit,

ABSOLUTELY!!!  I would be glad to test for you, just say the word.
