@ rwo

how's she looking?..would love to use my USB printer with the new update

@hunk

yes indeed it's a big improvement for us & it just flies on my Samflex ..now I'm praying for USB reliability while I test it further and hopefully we get USB2.0 very soon.....

ok kids asleep now I'm playing aorund with the update...first thing I noticed was that the ayto netwrok inetrenet connection didnt work this time around druing the installtion as it did with the original 4.1 CD...had to go into Internet prefs and click on the DHCP tab and voila..I'm now typing this on my Sam via OWB
The next thing I noticed, and like, is that the new fonts in general, and more specifically in OWB are much, much nicer than before..much clearer and crisper on my monitor!! anyway damn its like past midnight and I just started playing but argghh must get to sleep cause gotta wake up early ..damn this is the exact same feeling I used to have as akid when I had a breaththrough in Ultima IV & just could'nt sleep until I figured it out

ok the installation went great but now I can't access the internet anymore??? When I set up my Sam initially it just worked right away no problems up to now...I'm using a high speed modem and ethernet cable directly connected from modem to sam....any ideas???
pretty sure last time i set it up i didnt have to enter any ip address etc...

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED

ahh solved..just had to go into Internet prefs and click on DHCP..problem solved

yahoo...I finally was able to download the iso from Hyperions site just now!!..off I go to install it

..anyone else notice that the format progress bar does'nt work at the startup 'installation utility' screen??

@Mikey_C

yep great times indeed for Amigans!....it all started in 2009 for me when I saw Hyperion and ACube were pushing forward with AmigaOS and new hardware even with that damn court case over their heads! I had the confidence to buy my first new Amiga system with OS4.1 having trust that Amiga was going to be in good hands and WOW the joy when the court case was over !!! The new year has brought the X1000, the long awaited Update to bring OS4.1 out of beta, Blender so far and I anxiously await TimberWolf and hopefully an OpenOffice port too

WOW good times ahead indeed

damn..I'm still waiting here!....this is TORTURE

thanks for the advice guys! ..almost 8:00pm and still can't access Hyperions web page though

@hotrod

I burn iso's with AmiDVD just fine

while I'm waiting for Hyperions web page to get back up again so i can download the update....

was wondering as I have 3 partitions if I just have to delete the info on my boot up partition containing AmigaOS and leave the other 2 alone when installing the new UPDATE?

or is it recommended to delete all partitions on the drive and start from scratch (ie. partition & format HD etc.) with the new UPDATE CD?

@DAX

ya me too! it's 1986 all over again for me

@ ALL

shhhhhhhhhhhhh...I think I hear TimberWolf coming

@kas1e & DAX

ok stop guys! all this excitement is gonna make me stop doing work ...ahh who am I kidding..my productivity dropped for the day once I heard the news

@kas1e

that's because the milions of Amigans world wide can't wait to get the UPDATE that finally brings OS4.1 out of BETA

@Rigo


THANKS!!! now I promise no more whining (uhh at least for a little while)

@sundown

thanks but still getting the hangups....i'll wait unpatiently for 'the update'

@amigadad

really wish I could say the same

@A1200

ahh alas this is always my debate with Amigans that say new Amiga systems cost too much...then these same people go pay ridiculous money for PPC cards for their classics ..nostalgia is a crazy thing

@DAX

honestly my Sam has been fairly stable and I've never used the debug kernel..but I am getting annoyed with USB instability as I transfer many files via zip stick and portableHD.....as for USB keyboard and mouse hang ups I cannot comment as I have never had these issues

@Rigo..you said very soon a while back now......please give us an update mate

@ktadd

thanks for the info ..I'll give it a try but where can i find v15.28 of TextEditor.mcc ?

@ChrisH

ya know Chris i honestly don't want to waste time trouble shooting as I want to just back up my docs and do a fresh install of 'the update' when it finally shows up! In the mean time I have my work notebook located 6 inches below my Amiga so all is well for now

lately every time I spend more than 2 minutes writing an email with SimpleMail or YAM my system crashes on me....this does'nt occur if I'm using Claws under AmiCygnix??.....I'm hoping the update will fix this
