I tried the live CD on my laptop.  I can't remember the error exactly, but it was asking me to select the screenmode from a list, and none of them worked :-(.

Haven't tried it out on the desktop yet, but will give it a try soon.
Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6
Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

@Dandelion

Hmmm...  that was the latest build (afaik) downloaded last week.

Did you get a requester whilst it was booting up asking you to specify which screen type to use?

Still can't boot into AROS on my laptop - works fine on my PC though.  Even the VESA screenmodes won't load.

Laptop uses some of the RAM for graphics memory - would this be a problem for AROS?

btw - will be installing AROS onto a partition on my desktop in the near future - VERY nice looking, have not played around much yet.
Is there a 68k emulator to allow running AOS programs?

@Argo

Does that run under AROS?  (ie giving the illusion of running 68k AOS programs under AROS)

Yes, there is a AROS port of E-UAE. You'll of course need ROMs, OS and ADFs.


Cool!  I'll prepare a partition.   :-)
