Amiga OS 3.2.3, cant mount ADFs ?
« on: February 19, 2026, 06:54:16 PM »
I set up Amiga OS 3.2 from Emu68 imager (without newicons).  I found I could not mount ADFs. 

I updated to 3.2.3, ensured DefIcons is running, but still, when I double click an ADF it just wants to execute it and fails. Icon looks like a hammer.

I suspected maybe DefIcons needed newicons to function properly, but I just don't know.

Could someone please help :)

Thank you!

Thanks, I'll check, but this is a fresh install from the 3.2 CD.  I haven't overwritten anything as far as I know, but I did ask it not to install NewIcons.

After your post, I read this:

"NewIcons also includes DefIcons, a package of ready-made icons which aims to provide a default icon image for all files that do not have their own associated icons"

So it sounds like DefIcons is part of NewIcons.  I don't like the new icons so hopefully I can use deficons without the newicons.
