Tried installing it under VirtualBox but its a no go.  I'll google it for a few minutes before I lose interest for the day.

EDIT: Got it working..but by telling it not to install to "DH1" work.. only DH0.

EDIT 2: The 68k apps included all crash.  Maybe it was because I set Amibridge to AROS m68k?  Dunno...  and I dont know where to change it at either.

anyone know how to make the included 68k software work?  Just crashes on my setup.  All I changed was  Amibridge to AROS m68k?

I liked AROS when I played with it a few times, but found the fragmentation that's happening with the different variants annoying as hell.  I found the whole Icaros, Broadway, AROS Vision, AspireOS thing to be a confusing pain, but then again, I'm short on patience.  I'm simply used to Linux distro's where I can clearly click on either x64 or 32 bit variants and have the OS burned on a USB key or optical media and installed within 3 minutes.  If I've gotta dig around and slog through different variants, I just wash my hands of it, but maybe the download options are more clear now than they used to be.  


I'm the same way.  Needs to be a clear path as to this software does this..etc.  If its not clearly explained then I just skip it.
