Why you think that there should be any speed differences ?:) New version its only about adding some stuff, without of which, some games/demos just do not works.

Its the same version of libs which i put all the time in topics. I just ask Hanz to make it public, for all the users who annoing from time to time, that os4depot have not latest version.

Thanks for helping make it public. Software updates which fix bugs and add a few extra features are always welcomed in my book.

Re: Python programs: Work on AOS4 ???

It will also depend on what modules the Python script you download requires. If it requires something which is not on the Amiga, then you will most likely run into problems.

Like someone else has already commented, I have only played with some basic shell based Python scripts the Amiga. They ran fine but I have not tried anything that would be classified as complex.

I have used a 32Gb USB stick with my Sam440ep which was preformated by the manufacturer with vfat I think it was. Mounted without a problem as soon as I plugged it in.

Re: Utilitybase is infected (again)

@Hans

Most sites which get infected by trojans are usually due to a few common issues; Permissions of files set to world writable, web applications not kept up to date so they get exploited, injection attacks etc. While the web site maintainer can be proactive with some of the problems, certain areas need to be addressed by the hosting provider, especially if it is a shared hosting environment.

For all we know, the site itself is being taken care of correctly, but the environment it is being hosted in may not be. No need to throw out the baby with the bath water ;)

NB: I have to admit, I only visit Utility Base occasionally so all comments are to be taken as hearsay.

@alfkil

I know this doesn't help sort out your particular problem to much but I registered DVPlayer a few months back. He (Stephen Fellner) emailed me the full version to my specified email address within a day of registering.

No slow boot up with parthenope here.
Using Sam440EP.

One other thought what file system are you using for your AOS4 partition?

I am using SFS/00, maybe booting is only fast with FFS under parthenope.

If it is any help, I am running SFS/00 for my AmigaOS boot partition.

Well that worked I am now duel booting debian and AOS4.1 on my sam440ep the only problem is that booting AOS4 under
parthenope is very slow, it now takes about 3 minutes to boot AOS4 for the first time instead of less than 30 seconds.

Infact I have not timed booting linux yet but it feels like linux boots faster than linux with my config.

Is this a known problem or have I found some new bug with dual booting AOS and Linux?

The first time I tried Debian, I used the 'official' Debian PPC version. I also had the regular boot loader that comes with AmigaOS 4.1 and used EXT3. It installed fine but I only had an option to boot Linux so I reinstalled the boot loader to get AmigaOS back :P

This time, I am using the newer ACube supplied Debian and my boot time for AmigaOS is the same as before I installed it. I have not yet installed the new UBoot yet though, maybe it has something to do with the slow down?

As for ext2 vs ext3, I would assume that if you have your boot partition in ext2 for parthenope to access, you should be OK. I was feeling lazy though and just have a /tmp, SWAP and / partitions on my Sam440ep.

@Antique

I previously had parthenope installed when playing with CruxPPC.

When installing Debian, the only thing I needed to do different compared to what I would do with a regular Linux install, was to select ext2 for the FS rather than ext3 or better. I rememeber reading somewhere that the boot loader does not recognise ext3.

Apart from that, I followed the prompts for install, rebooted my Sam440ep after the install finished and I had the option boot AmigaOS 4.1 or Debian Linux via the parthenope menu.

I have a slow Sam440ep (533MHz) so it runs things a bit slow.

anyone ?..please tell me I don't have to reinstall Debian again to create the config file...tried booting up with CD1 and entering 'Alt-F2' but the menu.lst is blank....

When you enter the new terminal via alt-f2, you will most likely need to mount the hard drive otherwise all you will be looking at is the file system on the CD.

mkdir -p /tmp/harddrive
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/harddrive
(Assuming the device is SATA and it is partition 2 on the drive)

vi the menu.lst file on /mnt/harddrive to your needs.

I was looking at using CruxPPC as a dual boot distro with AmigaOS4.1 and have not really had a chance to look into Debian so I am making a few assumption on what Debian does.
