The Green Amiga Alien's guide

http://jambo.abime.net/howto.php

I thought I would start a new thread for my guides to get comments, corrections and tell you of any updates I made.

When I have more free time and in the mood (or bored :p ) I will be adding a chapter 10 to the guide, which will be about setting up WHDLoad step-by-step. (I will probably start on it after New Years day)

I have put my guides in PDF Format in the zone, but then realised they have a few typos. They will stay as they are until I done chapter 10. ;)

I hope I posted this in the right forum, if not feel free to move it.

yep, nice guide :cool
I'll link update our FAQ

Changes to make so far. (posted it here so I don't misplace them.)
