There doesn't seem to be a dedicated forum for OS questions, so

I have the OS3.9 (original, not the SE version). H&P shipped as a bare CD, no instructions. All the on-disk documentation refers to OS3.5

The internet FAQ has been updated to 3.9, but is still very sketchy on one subject: installation.

Can 3.9 be installed "from scratch" - will the Amiga boot from CD and install from there, or must OS3.9 be installed over an existing setup?

Is KS3.1 & OS3.9 compatible with drives >4gb? Either as one large partition on a drive, or as a partitioned drive (say 500mb DH0: and a 17gb DH1 partitions), using the standard C= filing system?

Are there any gotchas?
