Wilse installs OS4pre! :-)
« on: June 16, 2004, 12:14:15 AM »
Just thought i'd let you all know.

Looks lovely - got that old amiga feeling, as soon as it booted.

Posting this from the Pegasos though, which is also lovely. (nya-nya
;-))

Cool!

Were there any `hiccups`, along the way?
Or did you just make yourself a cup of tea while you waited ,until it finished installing ?


[And where is the obligatory screenshot?] :-)

MAD, I don't want to know how you're going to fix that problem.  And no advertising your services here ok? :-)

- enough of this line of humour now please -

@blobrana:

Yes, there were hic-coughs along the way but nothing major.

I had a bit of difficulty figuring out how to make a U-Boot upate CD.

Turns out it doesn't show up as an image file in Easy CD Creator,
which I was using.

I then searched the disc, found the file and burnt it to CD.
I'd only gone and burnt it archived, hadn't I? :roll:

Once I sorted that out, it was completely painless.

I'm afraid I've been too lazy and busy watching fitba' to post a
screenshot.

Sorry.

@cecilia:

serial.device is not yet included, so I can't connect via dial-up.
DSL is fine but I don't have it, unfortunately.

@Kenny:

In some areas, MorphOS is undoubtedly more polished.
For example, OS4's lack of serial.device, USB.device, slower refresh
and, eh, I think that's all I've noticed so far. :-)

Conversely, some things are noticably better.
Datatypes work, so double-clicking on an icon works, which is nice.

It also gave me that 'comfortable old slippers' feeling, as soon as I
saw the workbench screen.

Don't get me wrong, Ambient does that too but AOS4 had a more
noticable effect.
(A sad and geeky thing to mention I know but I guess I'm sad and
geeky. :-) hhehehe..)

@Eyso:

My financial situation has taken a rather sharp downturn lately.
I'm just glad I bought my toys when I did - I could never afford them
now.

But I hear you; I'd be jealous of me too.. ;-)
