But Picasso96? What that ? a GUI?
AmigaOS 3 is more than ten years old - that's why a lot of features you really need these days are missing. One of these features is support for graphics cards - OS3 doesn't support them.
When using a GFX card (WinUAE emulates one), you'll have to get a third party add-on that enables support for GFX cards. There are two options available, one of them is called 'Picasso96'.
That's a very good example of what AIAB actually
does: It comes with a lot of upgrades already installed and configured - install AIAB and you're sitting in front of a pretty usable and somewhat beautiful system. Disadvantages:
1. Some of the preconfigured stuff might not be set up the way you prefer it
2. You don't learn anything about AmigaOS this way
The other option is to setup everything yourself (GFX card software, CD-ROM driver, some patches to improve the visual appearance, PopUp menus, a new and better icon system etc.)
This is quite some task, but you learn a lot about AmigaOS this way and your setup is *really* yours - if it doesn't fit your needs there's only one person to blame: you ;-)
