More seamless e-uae integration with Linux

[runequester]

I imagine the simplest would either be some sort of "system select" screen, or just have different executables.

Im on 64 bit ubuntu Lucid, and I am dying to give this a swirl

SKR would refer to the group that cracked that particular version of the game.
The a usually just indicates a different version of the same disks.
 
And yes, only 4 floppy drives possible.
 

The scripts are now in Perl because of some bash limitations. Here are my two biggest issues.
1) Some games have > 4 disks so my goal of dumping the GUI completely may be compromised since uae only allows you to mount 4 drives. I am guessing the Amigas only allowed df0-df3. This is particularly frustrating to me because when you close a game, even with the gui disabled in uaerc, the GUI still comes up. Is there a way to suppress the GUI from coming up after closing the game's windows?
 
2) I unpacked all my TOSEC stuff to start testing, but their naming conventions don't make sense to me. For example, Silent Service II is two disks but on TOSEC I see this:
 
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)(Disk 1 of 2).adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)(Disk 2 of 2).adf
(original uncracked game?)
 
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[a](Disk 1 of 2).adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[a](Disk 2 of 2).adf
(what is [a]?)
 
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr Paxnt Box].adf
(no idea what this means)
 
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR](Disk 1 of 2).adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR](Disk 1 of 2)[a].adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR](Disk 1 of 2)[m TSB].adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR](Disk 2 of 2).adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR][a2](Disk 1 of 2).adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR][a2](Disk 2 of 2).adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR][a](Disk 1 of 2).adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR][a](Disk 2 of 2).adf
Silent Service II (1990)(MicroProse)[cr SKR][h LGD].adf
 
(what is all the SKR stuff???)
 
If I can better understand what all of this means I can make the routines to find the necessary disks a little more sane.
 
Any ideas?

There are multi-disk games that will only use df0 also.
I remember this being an annoyance back in the day. May need to keep the UI around for this.

This is true. Psygnosis seems to have been particularly bad about this

Also bad when using adfblitz to move games back to floppy.

It gives trouble with that ? Any ways around it?
