The nearest I can find is where it says that it will install *GRUB* to the first *drive*.<BR/><BR/>The installer should keep existing partitions (barring bugs), but it uses free space, not empty partitions, so you should delete your empty partition with some other tool before running the installer.<BR/><BR/>FFS can't be read from Windows. You can run AROS in QEMU.Neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-73386718694280204002007-10-05T10:58:00.000-04:002007-10-05T10:58:00.000-04:00You need to be careful if you are not wanting to destroy your Windows partition. This Installer is brand new and is not bug free as of yet. It is in the testing stages.<BR/><BR/>If you are not worried about the Windows partition and you are just testing, then please go to <A HREF="http://aros-exec.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2319&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=0" REL="nofollow">this thread</A> and ask questions or report your findings.<BR/><BR/>AROS installs using the FFS filesystem.Paul J.

I want to have dual boot and i didn't understand that when installer says 'aros will be installed in first partition', will it overwrite C: and destroy windows? <BR/>Or it reads all partitions (c:, d:, and E: left for aros) and gives me an option?<BR/><BR/>Under which FileSystem aros installs? Can i access it under WinXP?<BR/>Can i make installation from Live CD or under Qemu (i hate that one)?as.divljinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-45584776072393030182007-10-05T00:40:00.000-04:002007-10-05T00:40:00.000-04:00The AROS ISO isnt booting, maybe it was a nightly issue...

I was looking at bundling up a 'MacAROS' virtual machine application using Q for Mac OS X (will eventually hopefully support PPC and Intel on both types of Mac!!) but I didn't like how complex and easy to screw-up the install was (I know it wasn't that hard but it was too time consuming to do it weekly, which was my plan!).<BR/><BR/>The new installer sounds like just the ticket, it's fast and easy to use, and for working a a VM where it's safe, it'll be great!Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08173601981284954463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-15082130011150114532007-10-03T16:57:00.000-04:002007-10-03T16:57:00.000-04:00Great news!

So it looks like a bug/crash then.Paul J.

You should have to manually do a hard reboot (back to the BIOS) or power cycle.Neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14437807.post-26963494817186328542007-10-03T10:57:00.000-04:002007-10-03T10:57:00.000-04:00Thank you for the comment. Reading comments like these motivates me to keep writing.<BR/><BR/>By the way, you can install other icons if you don't like the defaults. Maybe I will write a how-to on that sometime. In the mean time, don't let that discourage you, because the icons can be changed.Paul J.

Thank you so much for the overview, the screenshots and the overall friendly atmosphere here!<BR/><BR/>Who knows, I might just give AROS a try using the new Installer as soon as they get rid of the ugly desktop icons! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
