Installing OS3.9 cd... without the CD
« on: October 06, 2009, 04:24:21 PM »
Hi,

I'm eventually going to get OS3.9 for my 1200, but I don't yet want to buy a CD and an interface for it. Since I have FTP ability on the Amiga, would it be possible for me to copy the contents of the CD onto another PC, FTP them over onto my Work partition, boot using my 3.1 disk and install 3.9 from the Work partition?

Thanks,

Matt

Would I then copy the files from the ISO to the Work partition, so I can access the installer from my 3.1 disks without actually having the system-to-be-replaced loaded? Or could I actually install it from within my 3.1 installation?
