LOL, one thing ata time , im a pc freak, i like computers to do things for me not the other way around , this is what i cant get into my head, why have a computer  that you have to tell it what to do in a shell box, and if ya dont it wont do anything, /
mmmmmm, microsoft have got it in the bag realy dont they, you install windows and everything is done it even knows how to unpack things . lol.

This is EXECTLY what I don't like about Windoze, it does a lot of things that I don't know about ;-)
Amiga, does EXACTLY what I expect and want it to :-)
Yes, I have been in the same boat as you are now, I started to mess around with Amiga in 2006, I did have Amiga when I was a kid though.
When you get the hang of it, I'm sure you'll really like Amiga :-)

BTW, I think it's easiest to setup OS3.9 (or anything else!) on a real Amiga system. Anything "UAE" really confuses me :lol:

I don't agree with those who say connect the drive to a PC and use winuae to install everything on it. It's just making things more complicated in my opinion.

I agree!

@ami_junki
I installed ClassicWB Lite on a standard A1200 yesterday. It works great, I should have done this a long time ago :-)

But I have to say.. You have to follow the instructions on the site! You learn a lot by doing that.

But.. I just started ClassicWB in WinUAE (hate this, I like to use a real Amiga!) Started DOpus and copied all the files to a folder on a CF card, used PCMCIA-CF card to copy it to my A1200.

I just want to say, there has been a lot of great instructions in this thread, I have learned something new of this!
