AmigaSYS 4
 

http://amigasys.extra.hu/1.jpg

Unfortunately i cannot keep the promised deadline at the end of march, the release will late at least two weeks, because a lot of changes - a lot of bugs. It would not make sense to release it half-done and i won't, only when it will be perfect and has an acceptable quality, but that's need time. Second problem is, the Deutsch translation of the installation manual is still missing and this is keeps back the release date too, i ask everyone again who speaks English and Deutsch, please write an email (dary.amigasys@gmail.com), you only have to translate a 10kb sized textfile, onky a 40-45 minute of work. Until then i made a few pics and a video about the new install system, wich has a lot of upgrades:

Installers supported in AmigaDOS mode:

Commodore Workbench 3.0 Workbench and Extras
Commodore Workbench 3.1 Workbench and Extras
Commodore Workbench 3.0/3.1 only Workbench disk.
Amiga Forever Workbench 3.1 only Workbench (AF 5, 6, 2005)
Amiga Forever Workbench 3.1 Workbench és Extras (2006, 2008)
Amiga Forever AmigaOS 3.9 (AF 5, 6, 2005, 2006, 2008 CD or online edition)
H&P AmigaOS 3.9 RED
H&P AmigaOS 3.9 PINK
AmigaOS XL/Amithlon CD 3.9.

AmigaDOS (3.0/3.1 without install) supported the AmigaOS 3.9 install too. If you install a 3.1 system and later you think you want to change 3.9 the old installers can be found in the installed system too, so the 3.9 works in the installed 3.0/3.1 too. All of the installers speaks all the five languages.

Wow Dary, that looks like really nice work!!! :shocked Those vids are awesome!! :bowdown

You are very dedicated to this project and I salute your enthusiasm and commitment. I never would have the patience or time to put together the kind of packages, install options and webpages you have - mine are more basic. ;) Well done, you have created a very nice addition to the Amiga Workbench family.

I look at your packs and Amikit and it really is amazing how far Workbench can be pushed. I obviously stick to the classic and low hardware end of the Workbench scale so I never would have experienced such visuals and features on the Amiga without packs such as yours. :great

Thank you for the comment. You see that this is much time, and work.
I appreciate that you are honest always!

Thx.

Bloodwych are right...One hell of a package.
I've been using amigasys since the first release.. It's getting better and better - Can't wait for number 4.. Thanks...

:great

AmigaSYS 4: Would you make an installation manual?

Because the AmigaSYS 4 will late, i thought that time should not pass unnecessary... if someone has the mood and would translate the english installation manual to any other language, then drop me a mail. I accept any help.

I would like to ask:
-If you start the translation, i would like if we will count on you later (more versions).
-Only those people should write whose can finish the translation in the deadline (1 week).
- Any language will accepted, but if you use special characters, then use them in the correct ISO encoding and let me know about it.
- English, Deutsch, Hungarian, Polish, Italian translation are already finished.

The translations will available on the official AmigaSYS site beside the downloadable files, and inside the AmigaSYS pack too. Every translation will contain the translator's name.

The file size is only 8 kb (with good english context).

AmigaSYS 4 - WinUAE version released!
 

AmigaSYS 4 WinUAE released!

With a bit late, but finally the new AmigaSYS has arrived. Perhaps this version took the most time, but not for nothing. Who used the AmigaSYS systems until then, will see the huge differences. The new AmigaDOS 3.0/3.1/3.9 installers are finished with 3-4 times more knowledge and with five language support. I feel, both the new and old users will experience a lot of new and interesting things in AmigaSYS 4. Almost every install is supported, maybe the availability of installing AmigaOS 3.9 without 3.0/3.1 will attract more people to try it...

And now...

All: Thx :great

This looks very good indeed, I think I'll give it a try tonight. I've never tried AmigaSYS at all before though, how does it compare to the likes of AmiKit? I guess I'll be able to answer that myself later today! :)

I just got started with the last version of AmigaSys, and I had problems with the unfamiliar archive extracting utility. Happily, I found it was fixed with this update.
