Stupid WorkBench Question

Try snapshot window instead of snapshot all and make sure the desktop is the active window (click once into the middle of the desktop before you open the menu).

The file to look at is envarc:sys/wbconfig.prefs.

When you install from scratch, which file system do you use to mount the CD ? Probably it marks all files on the CD read-only and these flags are copied to HDD either.

Perhaps you have to protect dh0:#? +wd all before you reboot after installation.

On WinUAE you can definitely install 3.9 directly from CD, no need to install anything other before, not even a WB ADF.

Here is how to do it: http://home.t-online.de/home/thomas-rapp/os39uae.html

Installing 3.9 on a real Amiga using the emergency disk is much the same. Just make sure that the emergency disk works and contains the correct drivers. If you use CacheCDFS to read the CD, no files will be write protected.
