AmiKit is Awesome !

Hey -
I saw the link for AmiKit on the Amiga.Org homepage.  At first I thought it was a company that sold amiga hardware. Following the link I discovered it was a nice pre-configured set-up for using WinUAE and your original OS3.x disk.  The install script is flawless ! I had been struggling for months to download / extract / configure all the little helper files and libraries to get WinUAE to run nicely for me.  But running AmiKit did it all automatically and even had functionality I had not installed yet (fancy transparent menus, you name it !)  I am very impressed.  Give it a whirl if you have WinUAE and a ROM image, or Amiga Forever - Cloanto and your OS3.5 or 3.9 disk.  It is THE BEST !

I will check out Amiga In a Box for my C= Hardware.

If my memory serves correctly, the terms of use of AmiKit
specify use only under WinUAE.  

Yes, a part of the fun of the Amiga OS is taking the time to configure the system  to "have it your way" like the old Burger King motto.  You can still take AmiKit and tweak it the way you want it.  This package makes sure that all the bits and pieces (libraries, helper utilities) are in-place so you can do that quickly without the host of requestor errors when you are missing something.  

Amiga Forever is quite nice allowing multiple configurations to be on-file so you can try different settings depending on what mood you are in any particular day.
