Whoops forgot that thread however it kind of wandered off from the original question and i never actually got an answer to if i could use it and it was an iffy application....Im thinking Legal for this one But like you say James's would be awsome !!

I have never made a legal one before so its a bit new ground to me

Edit ....Actually your right sorry James did add a nod to one of his posts

Edit Again ...According to Iggy on Amiga.org

For 3.0 and all earlier versions, its not only cool, it would appear to be completely legal.
For 3.1, as a test to the ownership of this property, yes its cool.
For 3.5 and 3.9, no there still partially owned by there developers and are still available on the commercial market.

So basicly i should we should be ok to just add a " Put your Rom Here " button to run the whole works

Workbench isn't freely distributable, it falls under the same category as the Kickstart ROMs, sorry

Permission has been given apparantly?

Graham Humphrey · 21 June 2012, 19:40

Well Amiga Format clearly got permission, we haven't.

That's how the rules stand here. If anybody wants to write to the copyright holder(s) asking for their permission to freely distribute them then go for it.

You mean no one ever has !!

The person i really feel sorry for is Toni Wilen who devotes so much time to Winuae ( without that the roms really are worth shite ) and he survives on donations yet all these packages use his free application and they dont even need to ask permission !!

I do hope however they look after him in some way

Did I ?

Apologies if you think i put words in your mouth but i really didnt ?

The statement i made was meant in totally the reverse....There are many packages that use Winuae i was refering to the fact if it wasnt for Winuae there would probably be no community and the roms really would be worthless....I did mention that cloanto probably pay a tidy sum for the rom licence but that was all ....nothing linking to yourself...In fact in the post i was defending Cloanto at the time

Hi has anyone had problems making the 64bit version bootable I've tried a few burning progs but it doesn't boot. The 32bit version is fine but I also want to try the 64bit with the extras disk. Any ideas?.

Cheers

hi try image burn work fine for me

ptyerman · 07 July 2012, 09:40

Just installed this yesterday to take a look and actually it's not bad. Fair enough it's just Linux Mint as a base, but they have put quite a bit of work into the theme. I also like how you can launch the Amiga demo's and other software just by double clicking them, pretty useful that. Wish they would get rid of that pile of crap Pulse-Audio though, 5.1 support has been broken badly since the beginning and it's still broken now years after. Overall though, it's not a bad effort as far as a Linux distro goes, but it will never be a Amiga!

spanner · 07 July 2012, 14:05

Yep use Image Burn works fine for me on 32 and 64 bit DVDs

narud17 · 07 July 2012, 20:04

Thanks for the replys going to give image burn a go. Strange thing is I can mount the image using Daemon and install it on a virtual machine so hopefully image burn will work. I'll let you know how I get on.

Cheers
