learning to create WHDLoad Packages

Hi all

i put a thread on a few days ago with no replies about creating WHDLoad Packages, does anyone know of any tutorials available to create these packages, i am trying to have a diskless Amiga, the more i have on the Hard Drive the better, as you all know floppy disks are getting harder to get plus having the room for 2 or 3 thousand floppies is a pain i have the time to learn and to help all with the WHDLoad project and would like any information available to learn

cheers Pete.,

What is a WHDLoad package?
this: http://kgwhd.whdownload.com/?

if you mean how to code installs, you should read issue #3 of APoV: http://apov.abime.net/

Have a look at Cody's FAQ too petee1979 : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=5267
You can find preinstalled games (which is guess is what you want to achieve) here : http://www.whdownload.com/ (basically just the single games from the packs that Akira linked to).

Threads merged.

@petee1979 - could you please bump your old thread rather than create a new one in future, especially as it was still near the top of the sub-forum, thanks!

Also it seems you mean you actually want to develop installs for yourself. I wouldn't know where to start with this but I think a good knowledge of assembly language is essential.
