An OS installation should be seamless and without drama. We should hardly be drawing attention to the tedious side of setting up the initial installation. Just say it was easy/medium/hard and leave it at that. _________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art." John Lasseter, Co-Founder of Pixar Animation Studios |

Erm where does this 4gb limit on a FAT partition come from?
Quote:
The maximum disk size is approximately 8 terabytes when you take into account the following variables: The maximum possible number of clusters on a FAT32 volume is 268,435,445, and there is a maximum of 32 KB per cluster, along with the space required for the file allocation table (FAT).
|
You may be confusing it with the maximum *FILE* size.
[edit] Forgot to add that this blog makes an excellent guide to installing, especially as it deals a couple of minor issues that might trip up less experienced users [/edit]

I totally agree. If we all stick our fingers in our ears, shut our eyes and go "lalalala", the problem might go away. |

| Epsilon, good work as always. I see how this can help a novice and not-so-novice user alike avoid some pitfalls and generally know what to expect.

So you are saying OS 4.1 Final is tedious to set up then are you? Not realy sure I see your point! This installation guide should be the sort of thing included in the box. By all means review the product but a step by step commentary on installing the software?! How boring have we all become if we get excited by that!_________________ "Art challenges technology.

No, he's just bullshitting. He hasn't even tried installing the Final.

The partition in this case I referenced was FAT16 (abbreviated usually to FAT). If it was FAT32 I was referring to then you would be correct in your feedback. For FAT16 4GB partitions are the limit. Perhaps I should have made that clearer by saying FAT16 explicitly.
For formatting under Windows XP, the limit is 4GB, for MS-DOS it is 2GB. Microsoft technical articles on the subject for reference:
4GB partition limit under XP:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310561
2GB partition limit under MSDOS:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/118335

I thought it would be helpful for people to see what to expect when installing Final Edition - the blog article includes some tips on how to disable bootsound and cf ide support also. It also shows off some of the features in Final Edition once installed.
I appreciate that not everyone needs help installing it, but the manual (pamphlet) included in Final Edition says little about the installation process, so I thought this step by step guide would be useful for people unfamiliar with AmigaOS4.x installations.
@others
Thank you for your kind feedback - I enjoy writing this blog a lot!
Regards, Epsilon

Thanks for clarifying. If you fulfilling a shortcoming in the OS4.1 Final manual then thanks for your efforts _________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art." John Lasseter, Co-Founder of Pixar Animation Studios |
