Re (3): [Oberon] Installing Native Oberon

Marius,

> Can I use Linux (Gentoo live CD) and fdisk for this? 

Should work.  Mostly I used MasterBooter.

> What fdisk options?

I used fdisk only for Linux installations but
it should work just as well as MasterBooter.
Make yourself a set of Debian Woody boot and 
root diskettes and run fdisk from those.  

Sarge had problems recognizing the drive last 
time I tried it.  Stick to Woody for now.

The default options should work.  Otherwise 
there is documentation at http://www.tldp.org/ . 
When you are really stuck, ask a more specific
question.

Old.

Open http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/ , click "Native Oberon" ,
scroll down to "Latest PC Native Alpha Version" ,
click "Download".  Note the "label" "CURRENT-IS-05.01.03".

Retrieve Oberon0.Dsk and rawrite.exe
at least.  Get some other *zips if you have 
time.  Use rawrite.exe to make your Oberon0
diskette.  Install Oberon.

We can ta]k about Aos after you have Oberon 
working.
