@Gulliver
First of all, many thanks for your effort!
You simply cannot re-distribute original or patched AmigaOS files, no matter what you write into your readme. Sorry, that's a fact. In addition I doubt you can use the name "Boing Bag" and pretend it's official one. It's not. (Btw. the previous official Boing Bags contain full patched system files just because they were created and distributed by the original Amiga OS license owner - which you are not.)
The only legal solution for this unofficial Boing Bag, besides renaming the package, is to include patch data (.pch files) instead of full and patched AmigaOS files. The full files can be created on user's computer - by an installer. It should be easy to write one.
@AmiKit, You know how much I appreciate your work, have supported it in the past and idolize what you have been able to create and the fact that you still give it away free, but I would have to disagree with you on the use of the words "Boing Bag", unless the previous or current Amiga IP owners have also copyrighted those words (which maybe they did and I just was too lazy to go look before writing this message). The other parts of your message must be considered by everyone working on the project.
It really would be a shame if ANYONE were to object to this effort and try to stop it. If Hyperion has the rights to AmigaOS, all versions of it, then I think it would be terribly wrong and stupid of them to try to stop the community from putting together an effort like this one as it really does not hurt anyone. To my knowledge, the authors of this effort are not promoting any kind of piracy, they have put checks in place so it cannot be installed without BoingBag2 being installed first, which requires the installer to have a (hopefully legal) copy of the OS3.9 CD.
I think every effort to keep this work on the "Unofficial Boing Bag 3" legal and out of trouble with any of the authors of the separate files needed is being made.
My question is why has something like this not been done before now? It was greatly needed and certainly very appreciated. There are far too many returning Amiga users that do not know this information, and some Amiga users that never left, but did not keep up with updating their Amigas for one reason or another that can now update them to a more modern state with the help of this initiative. I hope this work expands even further with many people helping their fellow Amiga users to fine tune their Amigas to their fullest potential. This has always been one of the strengths of the Amiga community.
Edit: My problem with the RAM-Handler error did disappear after a cold boot, so if you haven't already added a note to include a cold boot after using the Unofficial Boing Bag 3 install script, you might want to add such a note. Now I am off to the other thread that describes which files to add/alter/or patch to create the fastest and most stable of AGA OS3.9 Amigas. Thanks again for this thread and all the work done to create the "Unofficial Boing Bag 3" project.
