REQ: Commodore's Unix for Amiga - Called Amix - Read inside... NEW Amiga UNIX Site...
no...@home.com
an hour to re-create them back onto a floppy. The recreated Boot disk
will not boot so I must be doing something wrong.
I have not install Amiga UNIX since it needs disk 2 needs to be
unprotected and at this point I don't want to take any chances and
loose the only copy I have. I will install it once I figure out how
make the extra copies of the floppies. I feel like I am in the
chicken and the egg situation!
Meanwhile, I create a quick site where we can continue with the
discussion of this project, it is now open for anyone. Please join me

See you over there...
By the way, Pentad your idea is GREAT! (see below)

Schlechte Idee. Je mehr Diskussion auf irgendwelchen osbkuren Webforen
stattfindet, desto unbrauchbarer werden die Newsgroups.
