31 steps to AmigaOS 3.9 usability

[AndrewBell]

Instead of writing a script to install seperate packages, why not burn a new CD with the updated files?

Here's how:

1 - copy the 3.9 Cd to somewhere on your HD
2 - extract and merge the BB1 and BB2 files
3 - copy these to (Copy of CD)/OS-Version3.9/Workbench3.9
4 - delete the audio and video files to make space for your own additions
5 - delete help/locale/keyboard files for any languages you don't need/understand
6 - replace the icons if you want (ie. from GlowIcons Collection CD)
7 - update the contributions
8 - replace AWeb and Genesis with MiamiDX and iBrowse
9 - modify the installer script (might be tricky for some)
10 - burn a new CD

But then again this is the same as patching the os it self you still have to make it and fiddle around with script copy etc .

You can just copy files into the CD source without modifying the installer script. I chose to do that to learn more about installer scripting, and to make a CD that is as comprehensive as possible while requiring as little user intervention as possible.

so a premade installer script is better

I agree, and there's a premade installer script on the OS3.9 CD.

"also not everyone use cdrom"[

It doesn't matter what you install from, CD or HD, Zip disk or FTP site.
