A slight niggle...

<rant>

Can we have posting of crashlogs banned? just look at this thread. Most people get free web space from their ISP that they could use to store a few archived crashlogs instead of cluttering up the forums with page after page of info that is only of use to the programs author.

There's nothing stopping the poster from just adding a 'crashlog available' note so the author can ask for it if they want it.

@abalaban

Try this pointer.

@Curty

I thought thought was spelt thought not thort, maybe I thought incorrectly?

@Swoop

Yeah, but the floppies are useless to me, I don't anything that will read them and if the install script asks for the cd I'm stuffed anyway.

Probably my best chance is to hunt round the net for a pirate copy :(

@Swoop

erm, Nope, prolly for 2 reasons, 1 I've been too busy beta testing os4/IB/Amiphoto etc., & 2. I didn;t know there was one...

@klesterjr

it's probably bacause the last partition is juust over the limit, install boingbags 1 and 2 (or switch the last partition to SFS) and it should be usable again.

@AJS & swoop

I did remove my prefs file, maybe my installation is just corrupted

@agafaster & tidaley

Your talking about writing already created images to CD, I'm talking about actually creating those images. Makecd does it ok (@sundown I told you how to do it ages ago ) but only for CDR so I cannot do a bootable dvd disc until FryingPan is updated to allow installation of the SLB into the CD's 'boot block'.

@Swoop

Fpu or not? My copy crashes on startup here. unfortunately I had my cd stolen years ago so can't do a re-install, I'm stuck with whatever I installed for my 060 years ago ;-(

@Snuffy

I'm talking about a CD that will boot from UBoot not from kickstart

UBoot will find a CD with AMIGA BOOT id then try to load the SLB from the CD so that it can then load kickstart etc.

No SLB, No boot

@lazi

If your really that worried about free ram disable petunia.

There's a reason they don't display the free ram on windows, most people don't have any but just ignore the free ram info on OS4, the only time you need to think about it is if you get out of memory requesters...

@PEB

DATA/AUDIO is for 'pre made' data tracks and CDDA audio tracks. any mp3s you put in there will be uncompressed and saved as normal cd audio tracks.

@All

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

If I create a backup of my WB by d'n'd the partition icon on FP then a drawer is created with the same name and everything is put in there, no good if you want to boot it :(

If I open wb and show all files then serlect all and d'n'd that everything is copied to the right place (ie. the root) EXCEPT none of the icon files are copied (specially disk.info as it's hidden).

Niggles:

As yet I can see no way of installing the SLB so I cannot create bootable cd's anyway :(

Another niggle is the ghosting when removing more than one entry, if I remove the entire contents or the list it ghosts, removes 1 entry & unghosts for every item which means a lot of flicker :(
How about ghosting at the start of the whole remove process and unchosting at the end? it should only involve moveing 2 lines of code to outside the loop

@Valiant

turn off 'restart scan of bootunits after first stage' in prefs/uboot

@Outcast

try turning the screenblanker off....

@PEB

Yes, quite a lot of people know...

but then telling you would involve all that noisy shooting...

@Jacken

Forget about snoopdos for a while, it's not really OS4 happy, grab Snoopy and use that instead.

Use MMKeyboard it has a config option to do that

For USB users this should do it:

setenv save usb/hid-keyboard/lgui 0x000700E2
setenv save usb/hid-keyboard/rgui 0x000700E6
setenv save usb/hid-keyboard/lalt 0x000700E3
setenv save usb/hid-keyboard/ralt 0x000700E7

To set the menu/start key to R-Amiga use:

setenv save usb/hid-keyboard/rgui 0x00070076

To use the right control as R-Amiga use:

setenv save usb/hid-keyboard/rgui 0x000700E4

oooo...

I'd almost forgotten about those and I am a bit more skint than normal after the winter solstice...

Pity I couldn't just slap Orgin until he parted with the info it would have been far easier than trawling through loads of debug info the find what was sent to the server...
