Just looking through them now... as far as I can see they contain various dirs/ & files, so I'm assuming here all I do is unarchive everything, burn them to a CD and set up a partition on an Amiga to use them !!!
Sorry for making this sound more complicated than it probably is, just want to make sure I've got everything right and get this up and running on an Amiga as soon as possible...
Update: everythings downloaded now so hopefully now I can go ahead and create a CD, dont want to burn them to an SD card as the SUBWAY USB on the A1200 is dead slow and it will be much quicker just creating a CD... _________________

| @franko: to change you video output to default (aga) you should delete screenmode.prefs file, i think it is in prefs/env-archive/sys or somewhere there. Last edited by wawa on 05-Mar-2012 at 03:10 PM.

Only Amiga makes it possible Last edited by OlafS25 on 05-Mar-2012 at 04:16 PM.

| @franko: ermm, then how about to download the nightly first, as described in my poast, as it will only have about 20mb and decompress it to cd for starters? you may create a separate directory the cd and copy the 68k software or libs you want test under aros68k there. in that case remember to copy your 68k libs directory to aros:libs, skipping the native aros.libs (instead overwriting them), as well as copying your mui/libs to aros:classes/zune, skipping the present aros native mcc's of course. 68k mui classes should work under zune with certain exceptions due to current zune bugs. known culprits are for instance tearoff classes.

aros ist still pretty slow on real 030 without fast turboboard memory. its not much of joy on my plain a4k/30. though this is mostly due to wanderer, executing from shell is faster, even if programs load longer the execution speedis actually comparable with original aos on same system. the problem is still gui slowness and therefore laggy user interaction.

Ok... I want you to take this as constructive criticism (regarding the download)...
From what I am experiencing so far I assume you don't actually use real Amiga hardware !!!
It's now some 4 hours later since I burned the DVD and am trying to install it onto an Amiga. Major problem is the amount of "unnecessary" files involved...
For the past two hours 20 minutes I have been copying across from the DVD to the HD the "Fonts" dir and it's only reached those beginning with the letter L !!!
Now the way DVD's/CD's store data and the rate at which the heads seek (even at PIO 5) means that this is taking forever because you have included over 2000 fonts in that drawer and all their associated files...
All the other "unnecessary" stuff like all those Amos, Blitz files etc... have taken up the other two hours so far just to copy them from the DVD to HD...
For someone to test this using real Amiga hardware the "release" really needs drastically trimmed back to just what is needed for AROS itself and not include all this unnecessary stuff as it's a nightmare to install on real Amiga hardware...
Thousand of files in the one drawer (like Fonts) and the nature of DVD's/ CD filesystems make this a big "no no" to transfer using real hardware...
Think most folk would have given up a couple of hours ago faced with this but I'll persevere and get it done...
But the release drastically needs cut back to just what's actually necessary for AROS itself if you want others to test it. I can do this myself if you want when it's finally finished...
Like I say please take this as constructive criticism and nothing else, it looks like it going to be quite a few more hours to complete the transfer, reckon now I should have just put the RAR files onto a DVD and decompressed them directly onto the Amigas HD...
First time in years I've actually felt like sticking a size 10 boot in me Amiga... _________________

Shouldn't the DVD be bootable via say a nightly boot floppy?
