Final of my Aros 68k distribution

I was trying to give it a test downloading the boot and iso images, but i'm stuck somewhere... As you can see from the 2 attachments, the iso image actually "boots" from UAE, but comes to a menu and that's all. If i boot using the boot image, it does a reset, and comes to a prompt asking for the CD. Which no matter what i do does not seem to be recognized. It's not only an iso image, i actually burnt the cd to make sure.
Any ideas?

You use the nightly build with WinUAE? You need boot and bootiso from the downloads. In "boot" you find a ADF and the Roms you need to boot, and the iso must be burnt to a CD (must be attached during boot). Then you can install it

Yes, that is correct. And yes, the CD was burnt as i mentioned. I'll give it a try asap. I've friends asking me if there's any special hardware requirements for the OS, and i dunno what to say.
Your configuration file shows you got fpu selected and rtg if i'm correct?
I'd appreciate the minimum hardware requirements for info's sake.
Thanks in advance!

Well, if it's rather slow on anything other than an 060, is it really worth it?
I mean ok, i do appreciate having an alternative and free AOS-compatible OS, but wouldn't it be far better to have support for at least a few of the stock Amiga models? True, an 060 is not as rare as a PPC board, but still we're talking about a very limited user-base. And was UAE actually the target of developing this stuff after all?

Aros68k schould Even Run in Stock 68000with some RAM (4mb i think). It is compiled with basic CPU options afair. It is slower than the original aos for various reasons, most of which can be taken care of i suppose. The envisioned audience is the whole 68k user base. Sorry it isnt done just in an instant. I would wish for that myself.

I'm sorry if it sounded like i'm in a hurry or something; it's just that no one seems to talk much about hardware requirements, and i keep getting the impression that the low-spec machines were left out of the game. As i mentioned earlier, i do appreciate what's done. If the whole 68k user base is the target, then indeed it's the best news i can hear..
