(oh and what kickrom do i need? i have 2.0 i think, this is all very confusing  )


There is nothing confusing. The version numbers must match. The AmigaOS consists of Kickstart ROM and Workbench floppies. So if you want to install OS3.1 you need Kick 3.1 and Workbench 3.1.

All Workbench versions with a lower version number can run on higher Kickstarts. With few limitations you can run higher versions of Workbench if the major version number matches (e.g. you can run WB3.1 on Kick 3.0).

Kick 3.1 was the last Kickstart ROM so Workbench 3.5 and 3.9 need Kick 3.1, too.

WB 3.9 is sold by all Amiga dealers. Choose one near you.
