Icaros Desktop 1.1.1 update has been released

[paolone]

Exactly a month after Icaros Desktop 1.1 main release, it's time for a little update. This newer version provides the latest system files, including the newer ata.device from Neil Cafferkey, which fixes many incompatibility issues and should help people who couldn't try AROS before, to boot it on their computers.

 This new releases includes also an improved version of the OWB browser and fixes some system issues encountered with the 1.1 release. For this reason, v1.1.1 is available in two versions: an update CD for Icaros Desktop 1.1 users and a complete full live! DVD for new users.

A complete list of new features and improvements is available at this page.

Can I install this one on a removable drive storage like an SD card?
I want to put Icaros Desktop on my eeePC...

Cool, keep up the good work! I look forward to these along with WinUAE releases to get my Amiga fix!

You can't do that natively for now, but newer Live! full DVD version provide an accelerated version of QEMU, which runs Icaros in an almost-fullspeed virtual machine. This way you can get sound and wireless networking for free, but you're limited to 800x600 resolution.

I'm still hopeing for someone to pick up the "AROS on EeePC" bounty, that way we'll get an amazing platform to run Icaros on.

Please wait for a fix

I just wanted to say that I managed to download, burn and run the live version natively. It is the fist time in almost 3 years I manage to run AROS natively on any of the PCs I own (it used to work on some but something broke along the way). Bottom line: Whatever Neil did to ATA.device, it worked!

All I can say is wow. Thank you very much guys, you brought a smile to my face.

To all: downloads have been restarted.

To amigean: well, I'm glad it worked for you. Just keep your version, so, since maybe the new one I put on the server won't work for you anymore.
