:great yay some nice kewl work done here, Thank you

A word about install would be nice Minuous.
Is the install completely automatic, can BB3 be installed on an already modified setup (or is it better to install it on a plain AmigaOS setup) ?
Does it need previous BB's ?

I know some of the answers are on the dev. thread, still it would be nice if you could confirm here and / or in the ReadMe.

Great stuff! This is the community spirit :great

@Deleauvive: you need Boing Bags 1 & 2 installed, and the Unofficial BB3 has an installer script included.

Congratulations guys,
It´s a big effort for this great task that is upgrading the best of all operating systems
Thanks to all of you :)

Awesome release, Minuous! :great :bowdown :)

Well i spoke to Bloodwych about installing this because I use cwb 3.9. His suggestion was to install OS 3.9 and BB 1 2 and 3 and then install cwb. I asked him because cwb has also been updated.

I think BB3 needs the rom update from BB2... Which suggests that yes, you need BB1 and 2 for it to work.

Awesome work,

cant wait to try it :)

I modified the startup sequence with :

SYS:C/LoadModule L:Fastfilesystem L:RAM-Handler L:Shell-Seg DEVS:scsi.device LIBS:workbench.library NOREBOOT REVERSE
SYS:C/Setpatch SKIPROMMODULES fs,icon,ram,scsi.device,shell,workbench QUIET

as prompted by the installer and I get an Amigados "Unknown command" error.

I put it at the beginning of the startup sequence file and deleted the existing Setpatch command, but I appear to have broken something as Workbench will not load.

:help

I just knew this would happen. ;)

Well at least did what I said I would eh ? ;)

Fixed again btw - now have a HDF with BB1 and 2 on it and Classic WB 3.9... so how do I make BB3 "work" ? :p

:spin

What happens now when you run the installer?

It installs fine - I get to about 90 odd percent and the modify startup sequence dialogue box comes up telling me to insert the following at the beginning of the file and then delete the existing "Setpatch" line.

so I bung :


SYS:C/LoadModule L:Fastfilesystem L:RAM-Handler L:Shell-Seg DEVS:scsi.device LIBS:workbench.library NOREBOOT REVERSE
SYS:C/Setpatch SKIPROMMODULES fs,icon,ram,scsi.device,shell,workbench QUIET

in and reboot getting a "unknown command" error when workbench is trying to load.

Can't see anything wrong with that.

What was in the SetPatch command line that you have deleted?

BTW, you shouldn't really delete lines like that; just prefix them with a semicolon and it will be interpreted as a comment. ;)

Maybe it didnt install Loadmodule and hence it says unknown command.
Have a check to see if its there in c:.

Interesting, I didnt know you could get away with just fs,icon,ram. I always put the full title, i.e. fs = filesystem, icon = icon.library etc etc.

>reboot getting a "unknown command" error when workbench is trying to load.

Did you do a cold reboot or a warm one? Which command is giving you the "unknown command" error? LoadModule and SetPatch should be there in your C: directory so you shouldn't be getting that error.

the last line/section in the OS 3.9 checks:

its part of an if statement:
I thought I had to remove the setpatch lines.... or should I comment out the whole statement ?

Ok the Dialog box for BB3 is at 98% -
so.... I'm obviously not doing something right..... I'm waiting for direction before I try anything else :D

Yes, comment out all those lines you have quoted. The new code you have inserted will take care of that lot (ref: SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "Scsi.device" QUIET).

Ok did that :

Now error on loading wb is:

I wonder if its because I am installing BB 1 and 2 then Classic WB and BB3.rather than doing the 3 boing bags on a standard install and upgrading that to Classic WB......


mmmm
