Do you mean "Step by Step"?

| theres a bar at the top where if you click on something, another bar will appear just underneath it, etc.
click on "Computers" at the top, and then a new bar appears. Click on "AmigaOne", etc. Theres a ton of information on that site. |

No doubt you have found it now after jahc's advice. It's a low key presentation I know, originally to help with faster loading on unaccelerated classic machines. Although I've used it for some years even I had no idea till recently how much was there.

| One note: the SLB has NO Grub code to load Ext2 or anything else. The GRUB code lies within UBoot. SLB simply calls it. That's also why when upgrading, you must upgrade both or bad things will happen. |

| Brilliant! I'd been to that site before through exploring their wideranging "Glossary of Technology Terms" but had no idea that there was A1 'HowTo's' pages available as well!  _________________ -vortexau, who's A1 XE-G4 remains at half-RAM !

Sorry, but I don't think you are right. AFAIK UBoot doesn't have any code to access the filesystem as it only loads images (for example Linux boot image or the SLB) which then has to include the code to access the filesystem(s). This is the reason why there where once two different SLB, one with FFS/SFS support, the other with FFS/ext2/3 support (which is now only one SLB).

Sorry, I know I'm right. The reason being: I'm the one who wrote the frigging thing (flb & slb). So I kinda know what I'm talking about.
The old version you mention had Ext2 code in the slb, but it's no longer the case with the new UBoot/slb combo. You can have a look at the "mainstream" UBoot (at SF.net), the Ext2/3 code is there.Last edited by AV on 08-Sep-2005 at 04:27 PM.

| This is a very good and very detailed documentation. Congratulations to the team. You should have spent many hours doing it.
