How to install Aros For Amiga onto an amiga?

[carvedeye]

Well I think I have come to realise that I don't have a clue what I am doing so I'm just going to give up, I really appreciate all the help but think I will just stick with what I have.

Sorry, if it's me driving you out, sometimes i tend to sound "rude".

No, you can't give up that easy :quickdraw:

I'm struggling with Amithlon for about 4 years now. I NEED HELP. :uzi:

What should we do with our discontinued machines, if not trying to make the impossible possible?

And don't take me too serious. In most cases i'm not :biglaugh:

Cheers :drink:

Thanks for being patient with me, i entered the required lines that you gave me and put them In there right places (I think) and I have just the one error now which is "wrong argument" on an amiga dos screen so at least we are getting somewhere, going off the start-up sequence I have pasted where exactly should I bring putting the lines?

Hi carvedeye you on the right path dont give up! Sorry for my lack of reply it was a very long time ago I had afa os working.

 As I try to remember I do recall something about different versions working. I will try to look on compact flash with it installed on this week as i know it still works on that

Where did you get the files you are installing?

As I recall I used the ones from the afa site. I do remember having to do something weird to get it work. Its just I cannot remember what that wired thing was lol.



looking at your startup


Assign >NIL: HELP: LOCALE:Help DEFER
Assign AfA_: Sys:Afa_os_libs ;


Should be

Assign >NIL: HELP: LOCALE:Help DEFER
c:Assign AfA_OS: Sys:Afa_os_libs ;

I think you missed out the OS on the assign and the location of AFA_OS in the commands folder C:

Oh I also remember that.

1) If it boots with those commands in the start up sequence its a good thing.
2) You can tell its working by loading up Afa prefs
3) Text under icons might not be visible as they are the default amiga text that is not trutype so cannot be displayed. They will display once you select true type fonts in prefs.

I downloaded the files form the afa os website, I have also added OS to the sequence saved it and rebooted, then was given a grim reaper saying I had to press left mouse button then it came up again saying to press left mouse button then I was given an AmigaDOS screen saying wrong arguments then it booted into workbench I started afa prefs and I was able to load it but the section where for skins is greyed out so cant select any skins, but we are getting somewhere

I will look at my startup sequence tomorrow. If needs be I will even send you the files. We will get it going in the end bro

thanks mate I appreciate it

@ theformula

Did you manage to have a look at your start-up sequence

@theformula

I deleted Assign AfA_: Sys:Afa_os_libs ; from the sequence rebooted and still had the AmigaDOS screen coming up saying "wrong arguments" so once that went and workbench started I had a dig around in the afa os folder and seen the documentation file and had a little read of it and it says that I needed to put C:morelibspace before the setpatch command and so idid that saved it and I no longer get the "wrong arguments" error and I was able to access the skins tab, when I selected the skin I want I saved and rebooted but as soon as I went to open up my drive to access prefs my miggy locks up and I have to do a reset

[carvedeye]

no matter what I do my miggy now locks up?

Any ideas

[carvedeye]

.I've asked for screenmode and Kickstart. Still no answer. Are any of those boing bags installed? Has OS 3.9 been updated?
Blizkick or any other rom mapper installed?
What RTG system is installed?

I am using kickstart 3.1 and amigaos 3.9 + bb 1+2 (I wont install 3 + 4 because I am not very experienced at editing the s-s as you may have already guessed  ), Software for the m1230xa is setxa, I don't have blizkick installed and I don't have any rom mapper installed either.

[carvedeye]

I may have got mixed up with saying grimm reaper, the error I was meaning was when the system boots I get an error saying press left mouse button, I thought AfA_OS was supposed to be minimum spec of an 020 or higher?

It's very easy to import a s-s from other users, if they attach the s-s as a text file :biglaugh:

It would be great if someone will do this
