You're right. I'll do that, don't worry

It would be cool if Hyperion could give a step-by-step guide on the
safest backup-plan when doing a full install of Update 4

@Helgis

cd Hd0:

delete #? all usually does the trick !!


























I'm evil !!

Well, i'll definitely not overflow the forum like that

@Helgis

Have you tried http://www.onyxsoft.se/files/backup.lha

It makes backing up to another partition or drawer a breeze and only copies over files that have been changed after first backup, will save you a lot of time.

@Curty

Of course No, i don't think i've tried that. It's a long time ago.

I simply just copied all the drawers, files, libraries. All the OS4 partition
over to Diverse: and made a drawer called "Backup". It works for me

Maybe Monday ?

Valentine's day has no significance to me, but that could change if OS4 is released then!

You heard it here first folks! Any further delays in anything related to OS4 can henceforth be blamed on RoqueFort's "twins" fantasies, and an unconsious mild homophobic reaction on the part of the coders.

Make sure you show then your color sample!

Maybe it would be healthier if you switched from an AmigOne to a CommodoreOne.

ARGH! You've just opened up a really good tie in to my last attempt at humor, but I just don't know the person I'd have to mention well enough to make the joke, DAMN IT!

I'd like to figure out something that just came in my mind this week-end. May be Rogue could explain/answer.

During the IRC session he said :
Quote:

[20:38:47] The main reason is the unavailability of hardware. As you all know, AmigaOne's are not available right now, so we are not in a position to offer an OS 4 with a matching hardware. ... [20:40:10] Hence we decided to postpone the release until such time as a hardware platform IS available.

and a few second later
Quote:

[20:40:35] Now the good news. First of all, since we don't have OS 4 out now as planned, there will be... [20:40:39] Update #4 [20:41:06] Update #4 will come out early january, and will be again a quite comprehensive update. It will include, among other things...

The facts :
- AOS4 is ready but not released because of lack of hardware. (that's ok for me)
- but we will have a #4 update instead (update #4 that is almost what the final release will be)
- january is passed, we're almost feb 6th, and no sign of update #4.

So final release is ready but not an update !! It a nonsense.
Just like if Ferrari was about ro release a brand new car but can't because they have no gas to put in.
But to calm Tifosi, that have gas in their garage, Ferrari will release the car but with a V6, and not with a V12.

What bother me is that Rogue didn't said "we hope to release update #4 shortly." but "..WILL come out early January.."

So the question is : Is Final AOS4 ready ??
If so, let's imagine Final transformed in Update #4 and Final release Update #1
thansformed in real Final release. (if you understand me ? :) )

Now let's imagine that Hardware was available for Chrismas 2005, does someone realy think that AmigaOS4 will have be available at the same time ??

/me waiting for Update#4 to make a clean re-install

@Rogue

Will the update IV installer work correctly with Sil card equipped XE's?

Even my cdrom is on the sil

@Tonton_Pascal
They said os4 final is essentially done, and ud4 will be very close to what's expected for final. He did not say if that's 90%, 95%, etc, and even at 99% 'done,' there are still bugs to be found and fixed.

Time and again, it's obvious people don't understand how software is made...the last 1% remaining defects can sometimes take weeks or longer to resolve, and NO software is 100% 'bug free,' so the harder/longer you test, the more issues you uncover, although usually these are less significant defects at this point.

As a guess, I'd say they found something last minute, or one of the known open/not yet resolved defects looked like it was a simple fix, but the fix(es?) had to go 'deeper'/more invovled once they started to chase it down.

If OS4 is say 90% feature complete, that's still pretty close to done in the scheme of things, but that 10% can take a while to finish, as well as the bugs found along the way.

Regarding Xmas- they certainly could have released it, if they felt it solid enough to do so, then followed up with patches/updates as required.
