Classic Workbench Question

[Kitty]

@Kitty
Just put 'C:Copy >NIL: ENVARC:SYS/def_RAM.info RAMisk.info CLONE QUIET' in your user-startup

I know what I changed, I added that line above

[DH]

where the smiley face is should be a d , I hope you didn't copy and paste it ?

[Kitty]

no I know, thats just the forum being dumb

[DH]

Have you managed to edit the startup-sequence?

Thing is, if you're planning to delay some more actual use of the WB (again to load some proggies, play from the preinstalled and so on), it could be an idea to start with a more modern version of AmigaOS, namely 3.9 for it should be much more forgiving and feature packed in this perspective.
A bit of an oversimplification but :

• ClassicWB and 3.1 in general = Max. compatibility, albeit a bit tough on the edges
• OS 3.9 = most "Windows" ressembling shell (downside : Not so popular here on EAB since it's not "free") so you would exercice your creativity more easily

ok it wont let me edit the startup sequence file it says its write protected when I mounted it and the box is greyed out

[TCD]

Hmm, works fine here. Make sure you have the 'Read/Write' flag set for the HDF.

[DH]

Too slow, again

If that's the case then how can Kitty change anything in Workbench etc...

I'm wondering if the file is locked because it's still currently being accessed by the system on startup.

try bootin with original setup but hold both mouse buttons down
then boot with no startup

I always forget about that one Ribbits cosmic

Hmm...Installing NewIcons
ScalOS comes with it's own newicons.libray, i don't know how save it is to replace it with the Original (Don't be scared - as long as it work)

The + you had from doing this is that the installer replaced the systemicons in one step - for info: When you see the nice colored icons all is working, else you would see old 4 color icons or often just a small square.

The Drive icons must be set to 'Disk' before they show uo correctly:
can be done in 'System:Tools/IconEdit'
Load the icon under rightclick/project
change to disk under 'Type' and save

This isn't 'pre-configured' cause you can't see them in folder when they are set to disk
Use Dopus for copying them to the HD's root then

Ok fixed I got it back now, *slaps TheCyberDruid, Bad Boy!!

Ok now where is the correct place for that line of code?

It's not where, it's what is in it Check that the file exists like I said above.

[DH]

I wonder if it's correct 'def_ram.info' all I can find on mine are 'def_ram1.info' through to 'def_ram10.info'

EDIT: Which are found here 'DH0:Icons/Iconset/Disks/PS Icons/'

EDIT2: So I wonder if the line should read 'C:Copy >NIL: ENVARC:SYS/Icons/Iconset/Disks/PS Icons/def_RAM1.info RAM:disk.info CLONE QUIET

[TCD]

She just needs to copy the icon (info file) she wants to 'RAM:Disk.info, so maybe she should just put it on DH1: and change the line to 'C:Copy >NIL: DH0:def_RAM.info RAM:Disk.info CLONE QUIET' (def_RAM.info is only an example, can be any name of course ).

@DH
I think the 'ENVARC' isn't needed. Should start with 'SYS:Icons/...'.

[Kitty]

Comment the line out by putting a ; in front of it. When you're back in WB check if there is a file called 'def_RAM.info' in ENVARC:SYS. You just need to tell copy which icon it should copy to RAM:

Nope dont think so, closets thing to that is def_Ramdisk.

Hehe...as you say that,
System:Expansion/scalos/Icons Use dopus here folder won't show them

DH0:Icons are just iconsets but not active in use

Use that one then.

[DH]

Cheers for that tero, that'll explain why I couldn't access them

[Kitty]

the icon i want to use for ram isnt in ENVARC:SYS, its in my pc folder at the moment.
