New WinAROS available
« on: January 31, 2008, 02:11:30 AM »
A new version of WinAROS is available.
The virtual Harddisk is contains two partitions.
A 20MB Partition with Fast File System (FFS), that contains only the Boot Files.
And a 480MB Partition with Smart File System (SFS) that contains a fresh AROS setup.

WinAROS does not contain Extra apps, just what comes with AROS.
If you want to Install extras Apps, you can use

WinArosStart
 
WinAros comes with a Windows typical setup program, that creates shortcuts on the desktop
and in the start menu.
It also comes with an uninstaller.

WinAros Download

@ChaosLord

Try running WindowsXP in QEMU and you will get an Idea...

WinAROS Start is a bit confusing though?. Does it turn a downloaded AROS app into an ISO?


Exactly.
You choose the directory, where WinAros is installed, and the Directory that contains your downloaded aros apps.

Then just click on "create ISO and start WinAros" and and ISO file with your apps is created, winaros starts and the ISO is mounted as cdrom in AROS.

This is especially interesting for people that are developing aros apps in AmiDevCpp. Developers often make several compile runs in a minute and need to test the exe.
