AW: Re (3): AW: [Oberon] Mounting USB memory on USBOhci.

Sven,

> ... mount ... in the Autostart section of AosConfig.XML.

That works.  Thanks.

The mount also works as Boot9 in Aos.Par.

For the present I am using ETH Oberon / Aos 08.06.05 
as a full screen interface.  In this case Autostart.Run 
is not necessary.  Even the main menu of the WM is 
not needed.  Mounting the USB with Boot9 is sufficient.

After this system is stable for a week on two, I'll 
update information on the Web in case anyone is 
interested.

Sorry, I was confused.

Seems a good idea!

This problem appears to be independent of the preceding.

Appears to be a third problem which I have yet to 
encounter.  Josef is weeks or months ahead.

Fixes by Josef.  My knowledge isn't so good.
