Installing OS4.1 Update 3

[Karlos]

Hi,

Well, I finally got around to it; I have downloaded and installed Update 3 on the A1.

There has been a lot of discussion about problems and issues, so I was planning to go through it in some detail, trying to address each one.

However, I can honestly say that it gave me no trouble at all. Rather than repeat myself, you can read what little there is to read here:

Been playing around with it since, not experienced any trouble at all so far.

Verdict: painless.

How is this possible? OS4 is sh1t, everyone knows this!

Just lucky, I guess...

Also worth noting, my A1 didn't explode, implode or otherwise belch out the magic blue smoke yet.

I'm probably not the best guy to ask.

Well, naturally I find it fun to use, but I find anything Amiga fun to tinker with. I won't lie and say that my OS4 machines are my main everyday rigs, they're not. They are what I use when I want to actually have some fun rather than do work. I use them for development and getting my Amiga fix, along with classic machines. I pretty much enjoy using them to do stuff just for the sake of it. Not the sanest rationale, I guess, but that's what hobbies are.

I've only just downloaded MUI-OWB. Given the maturity of this browser on MorphOS, I'm expecting it to be a good experience.

So, what is your primary system/OS?

For everyday stuff and work I use linux. Unless I really fancy a spot of gaming, in which case I may sink to booting Windows for a few hours

However, my Amigas get almost daily use, even if it's only for a short time.

That's obviously MorphOS with an OS4 skin!

:lol:
Actually, I had a long chat with the better half recently and I think she maybe understands my geeky needs a bit better. I might be able to get away with another machine yet and there is a very obvious hole in my PPC collection.

You can have my Peg 1 or my G4 Mac for nowt bro.

I thought the G4 was for your wife?

Well, you see he is a computer whisperer. He knows all the secret incantations.

The best one is "You better work or it's debian ppc again for you!"
