| Gentlemen (And ladies)
This is really IT!
The time for whinging about AOS4 is over!
We are at the dawn of a new age, a better age!
Yes, the age of whinging about third party software development has officially begun!
(Me first!)

Brilliant gif-anim! Really brilliant!
Now, let's just hope this isn't just another stall tactic.. "Let's leak the install guide, that'll keep 'em occupied for a few more days, at least."

| A lot of steps for such a small task. Can't Hyperion make some of these steps (2 & 3) disappear? Isn't the OpenFirmware capable of letting a CD boot by itself?
Is it like this under 3.9?

| Section 8 has to be my favourite
Looks nice and written without making assumptions about the level of AOS knowledge which is good from the point of view of making the platform more accessible. |

Right. Better to not assume that "everyone should already know that". This way, if you know it, just skip those obvious steps to the other parts. But I'm sure that some will need the full details. |

| Okay, now the thing to work around is how to retain any required usability & data residing with Debian on the hard drive.
Is the BEST option just to fit a second HDD for AmigaOS4.0? I'd heard (from my dealer) that this install will allow Dual-Boot . . . . is that confirmed?

| Thats a good question that I would like an answer for as well. I've spent a great deal of time & anger setting up Debian .. Its actually quite usable now .. would like the option of keeping using it.

I have been running Uboot 1.0 for a while, and yes, it supports DUAL-BOOT 
So it will be possibly to continue to use the Debian/YDL/Suse/Gentoo/whatever Linux-distro your running ATM. together with OS4.

I don't think it should be any problem for someone who's managed to get Debian working.
From the Amiga OS4 installer html guide:
Quote:
| However, if you previously created a RDB partitioned hard disk, with some free space available for OS4, then please proceed to the add AmigaOne booter steps below and then on to partition steps to add your OS4 partition in the available space. |

If it's not too late, in section 6, paragraph 6, could you change "loose" to "lose"? |
