This post just about describes me. I only use windows for my Doom and Media editing needs for the most part.

I gave up on Doom after pretty much memorizing the entire layout. I now primarily play with QuakeIII Arena which will run under MorphOS.
About the only thing I miss is good Flash support under OWB.

MorphOS is a fine daily use OS. I have three Windows machines that see very little use.

Since I live in the future and my home is native IPv6, MOS/O4/AROS only is a no-go.


That is a poorly worded statement. You live in the present and hope for a future.

Further, I see nothing stopping any of those OS' from supporting future internet standards like IPv6, so I have no idea why you brought it up.

And just some quick links to back up my statement:

Holger Kruse mentioning IPv6 in 1999 - allthough he never really got started on it, he knew it was ahead. Implementing multicast support in MiamiDx was one milestone on the way, as MC is mandatory for IPv6 to work.

Me whining about IPv6 support in MiamiDx back in 2000 on the REBOL mailing list.

I never said IPv6 wasn't important, kolla. IPv4 is virtually obsolete, so change is inevitable.
What I don't understand is why you think OS support for IPv6 isn't possible to introduce.

Well, so looks like I'll have to wait for rv300 support anyway. I don't have plans to buy "another" old card! :) I don't have more free space to store my "vintage" tech material.
It's the same core of the mobile radeon on powerbook g4s?


Well, I ended up seeing that. In the middle of the "Ultimate Pack" installation! :)

I had to install Tiger again and I have created 3 partitions:
1) ~50gb for tiger
2) ~20gb for MorphOS
3) ~10gb for OS9

But then I found that I needed another tiny partition to boot MorphOS. Is it possible to install morphOS on the 20gb partition without destroying the tiger installation? What's used for boot manager?

When we receive Powerbook support we should get R300 3D drivers.
No one seems sure if this will be in the next revision or the one after (although I'd bet on the latter).
Your MorphOS partition may be a bit small if you want to install the "Ultimate Pack", but you probably won't use everything in the package so you could install the titles selectively.
