Making a clean WBench 3.1 installation

[fx]

- Install and setup WinUAE (choose ROM, video...)
- Create a Harddrive (use Virtual Directory)
- Insert Install 3.1 disk into DF0:
- Start Emulation
- Wait until Workbench comes up, double click on the Install 3.1 Disk Icon
- Double Click on the Install Script (may be a drawer you need to open first, can't remember)
- Follow on screen instructions and change disk when needed
- When install is finished, remove all disks, reboot

I have never used "Amiga In A Box" so I have no clue about that, but one thing you can do that will really improve the Workbench performance is to install Picasso96, for it to work you need to add some RTG Memory in the RAM settings of UAE. Picasso96 can be found here, and you will also need lha to unpack it which can be found here.

Picasso96 is a RTG system (ReTargetable Graphics) and is commonly used on real Amigas together with a graphics card, and allows you to run Workbench in higher resolution and use more colors. It will also greatly improve the speed of your emulated Amiga.

But if you're totally new to Amiga you might prefer to use something like Amiga In A Box which comes with lots of stuff preinstalled.
