Linux Action Show reviews AROS & mentions AmigaOS & MorphOS

[smerf]

OK,

I went there and watched the show, all 60 minutes of it. I liked what I saw with AROS,so I went to their site. Now I must be a blooming idiot, or have gotten used to steam and origin downloads.

but

Is it AROS, ICAROS, ICAROS live, ARES or Broadway. I was initially interested in Aros Broadway, went to their site, and got a server down error. So then I went to AROS and really became confused, after going through 2 hours of reading and other junk, I finally thought I hit gold with a download section, so I clicked on it to download I assumed what would be an ISO file, but got no download box, or anything that a download was happening. I figured well maybe the download was so small, and my gaming computer so fast that it didn't have time to show it, went to my download folder and my Icaros file read 16k or something part, and 0k Icaros downloader.
Now my other question is once if I can ever figure it out I get a good AROS download, does this include broadway, or is broadway a whole different ISO, or is it a bunch of programs that are patched into AROS.

I must be a blooming idiot, or the writers of these programs don't know how to follow ISO procederes. Usually when you make an ISO, when you load it into your computer it acts just like a regular OS and loads in the whole complete production for you.

Even Linux is easier to do than this crap.

When I do the same (Icaros Desktop) it shows 1.2 GB... I have installed it myself a couple of times (on VMWare) and never had any problem with it.

You should be more careful with wording because everything you say can and will be used against you

Hi,

Sorry OlafS3,

But right now I am so angry, for some reason, my internet is stopping for about 5 to 10 minutes and then it loads another Kbyte, so it is not there sites I may have picked up a bug or something. Checking out the situation now. So, I really like what I see on Aros Broadway, but yes it is confuzing. Is Aros Broadway, a whole OS or is it a a bunch of programs that you load in like the Boing bag, once you get Aros installed. If my internet will start back going (I called my provider) because I am not the only one having this problem, all my kids are having the same problem. Either we all got the same virus, or the internet provider has a problem. Anyhow I am a very impatient person when I see something I want to try. I even took an old gateway dual core computer at 3.2 ghz with an ATI radeon 70 card in it, and installed in a new hard drive to try it out. I anxiously await for AROS to download. It has been 4 hours now, and it has downloaded 938K. Sorry about my rant. My network speed test shows 10 mbyte, but my file download check shows stoppage of more than 30 minutes.

I am so confuzed right now.

@OlafS3,

Ok, it seems to be on all computers in the house, today, even when I try to watch the video, it stops, seems the only way to get it started again is by moving the mouse, checked for virus, nothing, used Microsoft essentials defender, and webroot security. Malwarebytes came up with 10 chk errors, but removed them and now my system is entirely clean and has same problem. Another thing is if I keep mouse pointer on video bar at the bottom of video and move it on the travel ball, it will keep playing, but if I put the mouse pointer before or after the ball it will stop playing the video. Oh well another great day in the micro soft world.
Maybe I will quit working on computers and go back to building muscle cars. HMMM! come to think about it I had a lot of trouble with my muscle cars stopping too.
