Hi,

I do not know if something like is already exists or if someone had tried it out with any success ...

Is there some Linux distribution which can be stored on a USB stick and which has UAE installed on it so that when the USB stick is connected to a computer on start up the Linux distribution will start and will only do one thing; start UAE which will load some default workbench (set previously) ...

Does something like the above exist? if not then is it possible to make, or there are some limitations?

Thanks and Regards,

Amigasys is what you want! I've played around with it and it's easy to setup/use..

Have hacked mine to run the latest Amigasys v4, and installed it onto the laptop's hd (a huge two line install script edit).

I had a quick look at bought tutorials.

The one explained on amiga.org need be compiled for the current hardware configuration. This does not seem to be the case for the tutorial explained on amiga.sk. ... is this right?

Also the one explained on amiga.sk seems to only support Workbench 3.5 or 3.9. This does not seem, to be the case for the tutorial explained on amiga.org ... again not sure if this is right or not!?

Why re-invent the wheel, and make things harder for yourself. I tryed x-amiga and its got majour flaws.

Came across amigasys and have been using that ever since. I was also looking at doing a cut down linux install with e-uae. But Amigasys already works/installs and runs...

amiga sys live for linux

Yes is boots right into workbench. All you need is your kickstart rom file, workbench 3/3.1, and extra's 3/3.1 in adf format. Its that simple to follow the onscreen prompts/help.

However I could not understand one thing; do you always need the CD? or after completing the setup you can directly from the USB?

Also there is no way to instal a Workbench which is pre-3.0?

Once you have it setup, just changing the *.hdf file changes your amiga envoriment (after editing the e-uae config file of course).

You don't need the cd once it's setup on the usb drive..
