Hi,

I've got a few issues.

First is clock. It is four hours late, this is because in installation, I couldn't edit the hour, while entering the said box and e.g. typing digit five, the upper menu bar on the screen was blinking in read while key pressed. I just left it for future and now when the system's there, the situation is the same when I make an attempt to change the clock. ??????

Another issue is a printer. I got hp deskjet 3420. An old model but still, works. This is just something extra but since there's so many hp drivers in the system, maybe somebody might point me the proper substitute ('hp deskjet' driver didn't work).

Third is rather a suggestion; a long time ago I bought an Apple DVI2S-Video converter. It allows you to plug the Mini into a TV set, like A500 in good all days. I assume that it works so I suggest anyone to get it, makes the mini more portable (see: hotels), also one can watch movies on large TV screen etc.

One more question about the system itself. My MOS is still off-line. I could port some apps using pendrive (USB ports on an Apple keyboard work). But also I've got a massive bunch of Amiga Future CDs bought as a bulk. So - maybe a stupid question to some, how to distinguish e.g. MOS app from purely AOS4/Classic app? And most important thing - How to install one? Just drag&drop? I saw no installers there, just icons (and other files)

EDIT* One more. I recalled I read somewhere MOS can read MacOS partition. How's that? In a Mounter utility, I mounted MacOS' disk and no files showed, even when view changed from icons to list. Maybe I should wait a bit longer for the file list to refresh?

Hi

1. Just highlight 2 digits from hour box, delete them and put your own one

2. If there is no dedicated driver for your printer, imho it won't work (but here i can be wrong)

3. Most of the apps doesn't have to be installed. That's not windows. Some of the files like extra libraries or mui clasess (or other) has to be installed in proper dirs. The best option is to go through read me which should be included in most of the apps. Just copy dir with the app and run it. Remember - if you want to run os4 apps you have to install os4emu, but it doesn't work with all the os4 apps.

4. Just mount it and open. It's not enough to change view to list only. You have to change it to all files as well. My OSX partition works perfectly straight after mounting.

@pampers

Thank you so much for help!

Also, I encountered an issue, seems to be a bug.

When I browse CD contents, I cannot go backwards. Neither "Back" nor "Up" nor parent folder's name buttons work, all I can do is go the way around by pressing mymorphos icon. There's no such thing when I'm browsing files on HD.

Now having everything done 'xcept the internet connection, as a newbie I'd like to ask about recommended apps:
- music
- video
- any other I should have?

And in general - where am I supposed to get it from? aminet? krashan files? (is this one ready yet?)
EDIT* Got it. There's downloads here also. Browsing...

EDIT2* Sorry, one more. What's the name for some MUI extension, like the Dock stuff in mac, or AmiStart in AOS4. I prefer something like the dock but any would be great.

Music: for listening to music - AmiNetRadio

What about the dock. Im using PolyNetNG, u can also make a default system's panel.

I mean like, I know there's no spreadsheet reading xls files. Well I'll try to write one. I wish to use python (that's what I do currently) but not sure how mature the library is (i.e. UI widgets). But I'll take my time exploring the system itself (and the apps of course).

No there is not, but you can use Google Docs which works fine with OWB.

OK but how to distinguish OS4 apps from MOS apps

IIRC it displays is it MorphOS or OS4 executable.
