Aros HD Installation Tutorial
« on: August 23, 2006, 10:36:06 AM »
Hello, all.

I wrote a step by step tutorial about how to install Aros on a harddisk.

The Tutorial is in german, but every step is documented with a screenshot, so maybe it helps someone.

Is there a way to get it to use SFS natively yet?


As far as I know, it's not (yet).
The Problem is, that GRUB (the Bootloader) is not able to boot from a SFS Partition. I am sure this will be fixed someday.

The OS will always be slow if it has to rely on FFS.  Well, file access and directory browsing anyway.


SFS would be a lot faster, but FFS is not painfully slow on real Hardware.

I guess the quick solution, since memory isn't an issue with typical AROS boxes, is to make all commands memory resident...but that doesn't help opening drawers (yes, I didn't say folders!).  However, making all commands memory resident would slow down the bootup process, I imagine.


Good Idea!

Also, an english translation would go a long way.  Thanks.


I will make a translation when I have the time

@all

Is there any interest in a english translation aside from lou_dias ?

Thanks, Heinz.

Sehr nett von Ihnen.

Hope that's right...


That is perfectly right. :-)
But when you use the first name,
it is more usual to replace "Ihnen" with "dir".

As a workaround, couldn't you have a small FFS boot partition and then a large SFS partition which contains the OS? The startup-sequence on the FFS partition transfers all of the default assigns (C:, S:, LIBS:.....) over to the corresponding directories on the SFS drive and then executes the startup-sequence from the SFS partition.

I dont know.
You should ask that at aros-exec.org
I am sure one of the developer could explain that.

Ok.
I made a quick Translation.
Certainly not my best english but should be understandable.

No. It was never meant to.
Aros is sourcecode compatible. That means, that you can compile Amiga Programs without changes for it.
You can find a lot of those programs and games on Aros-Archives or Aros-Max.


http://www.aros-max.co.uk/
http://archives.aros-exec.org/

It is only binary compatible when you run it on 68k Machines.
Or you can use E-UAE that comes with Aros.
