Which Exec?
« on: September 24, 2007, 04:56:32 PM »
I'm creating a new Kickstart, but unsure whether to use Pirus' Exec 44.1 or the OS3.9 BB2 patched Exec. Are there any major differences between the 2?

Save the kickstart to disk, split it into the component parts, update files as necessary and then recombine. Tools such as Exec44, Romsplit, Remus and BlizKick contain the necessary docs and patches.

@Piru

As someone who knows the inner workings of Exec quite intimately, what are the differences between your version and the officially patched version?

On the subject or recompiling Kickstart, is it possible to add a CD-ROM filesystem and mountlist to enable booting from CD? I saw it mentioned in a Google search result but can't find it again.
