My two cents. If you have the space, Get AmiKit - you need the 3.9 CD to complete it's install as it is a 3.9 based distribution.

It uses DOpus as the WB replacement, but you can edit startup-sequence to use LoadWB instead (it's in there, just commented out - I had to save the editied s-s to another name then copy it over via cli - DOpus protects that file when trying to write it ???). You need to register DOpus or you get a requester when the thing fires up. I'm still out on if I like DOpus or not (beeen a long time DiskMaster user) but AmiKit's a slick setup.

If there are files from your original install of Amiga Forever, modify the AmiKit .UAE file to include those directories, HDFs, etc. You can then copy over what you want.

@motorollin Yes, that's true, but this does give you a 3.9 based install rather quickly - you can then hack away at your heart's content to make it your baby, not his. This way takes away some of the pain others experience when trying out this thing called Amiga.
