Workbench installation questions
Hi there guys.
I was wondering if you could answer a few questions for me please. Background: I am currently emulating an Amiga via FS-UAE and Amiga Forever 2005 Premium edition from Cloanto. Amiga Forever comes with a Workbench 3.X ADF file that seems to have a baisc Amiga Workbench 3.1(-ish) on there. Loading up Workbench it states the following: Workbench version: 40.42 Kickstart version: 40.68 I was wanting to create a full Workbench installation to a "Hard drive / hard drive file" on an emulated hard drive (and or a dir within FS-UAE). However, it appears that this Workbench may be the bare minimum version and It doesnt appear to have all of the other disks that would come with Workbench 3.0/3.1 for a full installation. (As the ADF is exactly 880K in size). I have posted a question to the Cloanto support email, but only got the standard "we received your email" response, and nothing since then. Back when I was a kid, first starting out with my Amiga, I had a stock machine, and always wanted a more powerful Amiga that included things like a hard drive, more RAM, faster CPU, GFX card, etc, etc So I'm interested in creating a full Workbench installation, with a powerful spec (HDD, CPU, RAM, etc, etc), so that I can have my "Dream Amiga" and play some games, and create some interesting things with the productivity software side of things too. Questions: 1. Can anyone tell me if Cloanto's Workbench 3.X contains all of the full set of Workbench disks and programmes (like fonts/extras/etc, etc) to allow me to perform a full workbench installation to hard drive ? 2. Can I then install things like MUI/MagicWB to improve the OS too ? 3. Do you have any other reccomendations for other software that I could install, to make my Dream Amiga ? Details: PC details OS: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS OS type: 64-bit DE: KDE 5.12.9 Kernel: 4.15.0-99-generic CPU: 4x Intel Core-2 Q8200 (@2.33 Ghz) RAM: 8GB TIA for any help or advice. |

As far as I remember, they did not have full versions off Workbench, especially if you after 1.3, 2.04 etc. They did have 3.0 or 3.1 (can't remember, it has been a while since I got Cloanto set in retro software bundle @ groupees.
Friend of ours created basic workbench setup instructions, you can view them here: http://guide.abime.net/home.htm (RIP Paul) Another friend of ours had finished sets, that are easy to install as long as you have workbench disks, that can be found here: http://classicwb.abime.net/ IMHO, it is very easy to find WB disks and since you own Cloanto I think you are just fine downloading them. |
