The Amiga911 boot disk.

That's awesome!! Thanks for this link

Actually, i'm having an error in Gui4CLI "Makedir error code 10 ABORTED" just by creating the project name.

Have i made an error in the installation?

Hmmm... Well I have made it so that Amiga911 Maker could be used directly without having to install anything, the files to copy which are mentioned in the documentation are optional. The only thing I can think of which causes this error is:

- You used some "illegal" characters in your project name.
- There isn't a Projects directory in the "Amiga911 Maker" dir, if this is the case you will have to create it manually.

Yes it is working now.
However, i have been unable to make a disk with everything within 880 KB.
I followed the tutorial on the website and made a not too stuffed project but disk is full before the end of the files copying. On a second try i removed some more programs but still the same.
Actual size of the files is 941 KB.

When you created the project, did you enable the "Create Low-Mem disk" option for making a disk which is meant for Amigas with less than 2MB RAM?
If this is the case, you unfortunately can't include as much stuff on the disk as you can with the "normal" disk (which is meant for Amigas with 2MB or more RAM).
The reason for this is that fewer files will be included in the LZX archives when creating a Low-Mem disk, this in turn means that the files not included will stay uncompressed and use more space on the disk. This was unfortunately the only way I could include support for Amigas with low memory, and it seems like I forgot to mention this in the tutorial.

So if you really created a Low-Mem disk project, I'm sorry to say that you most likely can't include any programs on the disk.

But I do however have plans of making it possible for the users to create an additional "Extras" disk where all the stuff that wouldn't fit on the main boot floppy can be added instead.

No, i have not choosen the low memory version as i have a large amount of RAM.
I am puzzled by the disk creation, maybe i will just wait for the next version with the "creat disk" option activated

Just wondering, exactly what are you trying to copy to the disk? Remember that it is only the content of the Amiga911 dir that shall be copied to the disk. The System1, System2 & Programs directories shall not be copied to the floppy (these dirs with content are already present in the three archives inside the Amiga911 dir).

I have now started on the "Create Disk" part of Amiga911 Maker, and right now it's the format disk stuff I'm working on

Ok, i misunderstood then. I was copying everything inside he project. Will give it another try then.
Thanks.
