AmigaOS 3.9: new install

[JetRacer]

Actually, I'd reccomend half that amount (128MB). I got 200MB and never use more than 1/3. Dunno if the installer demands more though.

Then again, I didn't install all the junk that was on the OS39 cd to my bootdisk...

I have to reccomend that you install KingCon (Shell replacement) and Toolmanager (program launcher) both available at Aminet, instead of those supplied with 3.9. They really suck.

And oh, if you want some slight notion of speed:
C:SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES=exec.library

(edit)

Me stupid; his h/w has a future with OS4. Go for 256MB.

@kingkleks: Because it's a sluggish unoptimized C rewrite that replaces a fast Assembler exec. It's  the foundation of the PPC exec which probably have been optimized already...
Anyway, it doesn't show until you run many tasks simultaineously, like when a browser decode a ton of images.

Personally, I bought OS3.9 for several reasons... Making my 060 board run at vanilla A1200 speed wasn't one of them :-(
