Hi,

You have to go about it in a round-about way. The instructions here will help (though some of the wording has changed ever so slightly).

It does work though, with the exception of networking - though it hopefully won't be long (scroll down to the news article below the recent posts) before the relevant network device is part of the nightly builds...

It's a bit fiddly, but only takes about ten minutes!

Both UAE and E-UAE are present in the "Extras/Emu" directory (assuming you've grabbed a stable or nightly build) but I've not yet tried either.

Oh, it wasn't that bad. I followed those instructions and have AROS on an old PC. The instructions are very detailed and just takes a few minutes. Okay, so you probably want about half an hour to dedicate to this.
Maybe the installer bounty need to provide more incentive.

Hi,

As youve no doubt found out by now - the auto partitioning tool (c:partition) fails to prepare the drive, so InstallAROS doesnt have anything to format.

The solution as you've also been told/found out is to manually partition it in HDToolBox for the time being ..

I hope to take a look at c:partition sometime in the near future and fix the problems with it - and also make it use only freespace by default, and have an option to forcefully nuke a drive.

The options are in InstallAROS but not doing anything atm..


yours,
Nick Andrews

Definitely worth it, especially as the VMWare Server beta is free.

Very impressed with how AROS keeps improving, and it'll be great once the required AMD PCNet device is included to allow networking from within the virtual machine (this'll save me from having to create ISO CD image files for anything additional I want to install into it!)

@kalamatee: keep up the good work!

Ah, but it's not yet in the nightly builds and I'm not registered for SVN access (my programming skills are not good enough to contribute anything to the AROS project!)

If you were feeling kind, perhaps you could make a compiled "pcnet32.device" file (or whatever it's been named) available for download? Or should I just be patient?!

LOL

well the pcnet32 driver is my contribution aswell =/

I will put a binary on AROS archives for those wanting/needing it - I forgot it wasnt compiled during the build system.

The reason it doesnt is the same as for the nforce driver - it causes problems for the hosted build so by default its just not built.

Cool! This'll help lots of people get more out of AROS.
