    How come, when I unzip v3.3, I no longer get an ISO (like previous versions)?

    I've noticed some unzippers allow an iso to be explored - is that what you're doing? When you download 3.3, don't you end up with an iso?
    PPC assembly ain't so bad... ;)

    Good question.
    I just ask WinZip to unzip the file.
    I don't specify anything except the target directory.

    I'll try using a different unzip package or another system.

    OK, Winzip, for whatever reason, thinks the ISO is a zip file.
    I got rid of Winzip, no problem.

    edit: Alright! ISO burned, a 73 Raptor is sitting ready for installation, all I need is the G5 to arrive (I ordered 2.3 GHz model to avoid water cooling while still getting PCI-X slots).

    The file you download is an .iso file, not a .zip file, so ther is no need to unpack anything. You might consider changing file association of .iso files to point to your burning app instead if winzip. You may also consider switching off "hide file extentions for known files" (or whatever it's called) so that the full file name (including the .xxx ending) is allways shown. Also, windows (at least since XP I think) can browse .zip files like they would be plain folders.
    MorphOS is Amiga done right! :-)
    MorphOS NG will be AROS done right! :-)

    Thanks, it has been such a long time since I resorted to Windows, that its feels unfamiliar.
    As its going to be an alternate OS on an Opteron based system I just bought (more Sun hardware), I'll have to get used to it again (after all, there is not that difference between Windows and OSX).

  • Are there any MorphOS in the San Francisco Bay Area here in California?

    I'd like to get in touch with someone who coud help me to get up to speed with a few things.
