Another AROS Update

[jdiffend]

How about putting a date in the archives so it's easy to tell when they are updated?
Something like the following with day month year info in the filename.

This would let me set up GetRight to grab any new updates when they appear.  :-D

I really can't take credit... the NewOS archives are named like that (ok, year, month, day) and I've been grabbing updates of it that way for over a year.

It really helps silly people like me so we don't get confused at which archive is the new one.

Oh, and you can avoid updating the web page all the time if you just point the link to a directory with the latest files and have it set up for FTP.  Then set up scripts to do the file updates automatically when your ready to distribute a new version.

FWIW, never versions of GRUB support display of a splash screen image.  The version of AROS GRUB I looked at didn't appear to have it.   If you incorporate that you could bring up the AROS logo while it's booting.  Not because we need it... but just because it would look cool!

I just tested the new CD image... there's good news and bad news...

Good news, the image on the screen isn't garbled.  You can actually see the AROS screen/windows.

Bad news, you can only see part of the AROS screen image.  Any image (if you don't end up with a totally blank screen)  appears at the top of the screen and is about an inch or two high.

The image looks like the top of the AROS sceen is actually above the top of the monitor and you can only see part of the image before it goes blank.  The last line clearly ends part way (around 2/3 left to right) across the screen.

640x480x16 is blank
1024x768x32 has the partial image

It varies between the two (blank or partial image) depending on what mode you chose.

It doesn't have the version of GRUB that lets me enter #0x4111, just screen resolution.
