I started to install AmiKit on my X1000 but halted when it said it would install onto the SYS: partition. Anyone know if this can be changed? I want to install to DH1:

Its a good thing you stoped, if you head continued you might have trashed the AmigaOS4.x installation badly.

It's the free version, RealAK1.0.
What I was getting at was (1) if I continued with the installation, would I get the option to change the installation path? the text at the start of the installation process suggests not (2) if I installed to SYS: and then moved the drawer to DH1: are there any paths I would need to change?

You setup a EUAE enviroment for it.

There is a JIT version that is fast, but its not yet 100% satable, you might run it in the non JIT version but its going to run slow.

I think you should wait for EUAE JIT to get stable, AmiKIT does not really offer anything for AmigaOS4.1 users, AmiKIT is a unofficial upgrade for AmigaOS 3.5/3.9.

Due to this, I dug up my old Thinkpad T41 laptop, specced:
CPU: 1.4GHz
Ram:256MB
HDD: 30GB
Screen 14.1"
GPU: Radeon 7500 32MB

So I went trough my storage and found a 2GHz Pentium M 760 and put in it, added 2GB of ram and took a 32GB MLC PATA SSD and a converter for the opticbay so I put a 160GB PATA drive in the CD/DVD slot.

So upgraded a bit with what I had I am now looking for a fitting 9000 or 128MB FIREGL on ebay and planning on upgrading that also.

Then I used nlite to strip down a Windows XP install as much as possible, got it down to just taking 480MB installed and only using about 55MB ram and after that I removed the Windows XP boot screen.

System boots in a few seconds after post when installed on the PATA SSD and shrinked  so quite nice.

Then I tried AmiKITT and hey its nice, gave it all ram possible and had some fun with it.

Now im planning on doing a silent start to AmiKIT ignoring windows shell and then i'm at land :)

So it's a nice bundle of software you put together, this laptop will be used at work beside my workstation, so thanks :)
Not the fastest machine around but seems to work quite ok for this task and it's good to get some use of it, better then throwing it away :)

I will take time and try this out on my A1200 also, but im quite happy with the snappiness and speed of my current 3.1 setup but it's always fun to try :)
