I wrote this essay this morning:
I've dabbled with MorphOS, registering the current version that's on my aging eMac. Very nice, very polished. It runs LightWave v5 so very well, and Titler and ShowGirls are quite worthwhile. I could make a home there, but the butterfly is a little too different for me. No screen dragging? Really? DH0: seems to be something I shouldn't touch,


Just a side note: You may touch everything on DH0: (i.e. sys:) except sys:morphos/ - that drawer is thought to be private for the OS. You can mess around with the OS in sys:~morphos/ as much as you like.

I may have that wrong then. On the eMac, I seem to have SYS: on DH1:, and DH0: is a little 60MB partition.

I see. It is that DH0: (i.e. !sys: ) just holds the "kickstart" (the boot.img"). You may go to sys:tools/Mounter and dismount it and don't click on "mount on booting". Then that partition doesn't get mounted during boot up. It is then just invisible as the kickstart ROM is on an C= Amiga. I think it is the standard setting though.
