Re: Trouble with XAmiga

I'm sorry about the installation problems.  I've had to leave development while I work on another (very similar) project... ;-)

Just for reference: X-Amiga is not another cut-down distro, it's uniquely engineered for E-UAE.  Only the graphical installer runs on AmiWM.   The main 'cool' features are: size (can run in <12MB) and optimisation (properly configured, it will boot EXTREMELY quickly).  No 'off-the-shelf' distro can claim this.

The downside is that it's finicky about configuration...

Note that the installer CD has a file manager, so you can manually copy Amiga files.  The only thing you have to ensure is that the E-UAE configuration .uaerc is set up properly.

Want any help with this?

Hi!

@Fingers

The new version of KX Light should be out soon. It's a lot more friendly than X-Amiga, and can now be installed easily to hard disk. So, be nice to your Linux PC ;-)

I'll be updating X-Amiga soon, with a few fundamental changes (there's no point competing with KX Light!). I still intend to keep it small (miniscule!) and fast...  Of course, you can always email me; send log files, .uaerc configuration, etc. and I'll try to figure out what the problem is.

Unfortunately, E-UAE doesn't support printing. It's not quite as advanced as WinUAE...

It's possible to put together a small Windows system (check out http://www.litepc.com/) to run WinUAE. That could be an interesting project, but there's no way to distribute it freely.
