Is Vampyre not completely compatible?

I think it would be nice if somehow the new installer provided the ability to install other packages as "third-party add-ons".

This is actually a very good idea! It could be implemented with, say, Boing Bag 5. BB5 could deliver essential legal updates along with a bunch of scripts that ask to install 3rd party add-ons.

That way you could install AHI, MUI, P96 or CGFx, perhaps a Roadshow demo and a browser (netsurf?) as required all in one shot.

This would breath new life into 3rd party add-on for sure! Especially freely available packages supporting what ever H/W a user might be sporting in their Amiga. Might require maintenance though.

Of course I do not know how it is planned to deliver installation media, so this could be very tricky. I believe OS3.9 was provided on CD... would that be the goal with this update?

It would be really cool if the scripts could go fetch larger packages via the web during installation of BB5 for those with ethernet. Sort of like an AmiUpdate for OS3.9. For those without ethernet, BB5 could have an option to fetch the desired add-on from a specific folder of compressed packages that the user could pre-populate. This would all hinge, of course, on requesters.

I assume new ROMs are required.

Not for most available/existing software. But, new ROMs supporting moving things around for better system performance, based on user H/W, would certainly be welcome.
