Can you still get Amithlon, then?

Was it ever even released?

Amithlon, was a 68K CPU emulator that ran on a cut down Linux kernel. This could be booted on an ordinary x86 machine and then boot into AmigaOS... It gave AmigaOS full access to the hardware an also allowed specially written native x86 programs run as well... It ran into all sorts of problems, which I'm sure Bernie doesn't really want dragged up again... I suggest you google it... :-D

Would this work if I did a fresh install of Fedora (got all 5 bloody cds of it, but never could get it to work) and then installed Amithlon over the top?  Or could I install straight from an Amithlon cd?

I also read somewhere that it only supported certain types of gfx cards.  Is that still the case?

Thanks.  :pancake:
