Hi guys.

I've fully set up my new Pegasos G3/600 with MOS 1.4.5 on it, and the next step is to install a TCP/IP stack and a web browser.

I am leaning towards Genesis as I've used it before with OS3.9/Classic Amiga. Is the installation procedure as simple as downloading "gendemo104.lha" from Aminet and inserting the keyfile from OS3.9 CD, or is there more to it?

Is there a walkthrough for this installation, or perhaps for Miami?

I'd just like to have a TCP/IP stack up and running as quickly as possible.


Thanks!

Go for it !
Genesis is your best option if you don't need to have a DHCP client ability.

If I remember correctly I installed it from the OS3.9 CD.
The wizard and prefs are reaction based. So you will have to install the Genesis / MUI demo from aminet to be able to use the GUI.
If it does not work right away use snoopium to check if you are missing any MUI classes.

Try those two links for Miami ... I never tried Genesis ...

I would not recommend Miami as it has really poor network performance and does not stay online in some setups. Also if you do not have a key you can not register it anymore.

@cdfr:

I've tried the demo from Aminet and nothing happens when I double-click the installer icon.

Any tips?


Thanks.

First check if you have the installer in C:
You can get it from aminet.

The demo version of genesi on Aminet is only used to get the MUI gui. You can extract the archive and copy the Genesis Wizards / Prefs icons to your Genesis/Reaction installation and remove the reaction ones.
Then open snoopium and fire up these MUI GUIis and check if you are missing any MUI classes.

Install by hand

It isn't too dificult. IIRC (cannot check, since being at work) just decompress the lha, copy it somewhere and set an assign to that directory (IIRC the assign is set for amitcp: and not for genesis). If there is something floating around insinde the archive which looks like it would prefer to sit in libs: or devs: better put it there...

Thanks guys. I'll report back once I try out what you've suggested

How are things going? Any success?

It was such a long time I did this so I can't remember the details, but I remember that I completely used the MUI archive from Aminet, only the key from the OS3.9 CD, never using the install script but simply copying things myself, getting info about my IP number from MiamiDX (I have a semi-static (ie it rarely changes) IP) and the NIC number (although you can get that directly from the OF prompt), and when everything finally started up without problems (Snoop dos/snoopium) is good to have at hand, I simply used the Genesis setup/configuring tool to set things up. And then it worked!

I know this is really tricky! I'm thinking of doing a clean install of the latest MorphOS and do this all over again. If I do, I might write down the steps as I do them, but I can't really remember the details right now ...

I am in the same situation. When I installed my Peg2 it was a matter of a few minutes to set up the stack because I already did it before and because I could quickly retrieve the missing libs from my Peg1 backup.
If you are new to this it can be much more painfull.
Next time I should write the steps and publish them in the Morphzone tutorials section.

Hi.

It seems that I was missing installer in C:. I assumed that MOS came with it (yes, I'm still used to classic AOS3.9 a lot).

My Pegasos is not online yet as I need to find some time to play around with figuring out what else is missing from the libraries/MUI classes, just like you guys mentioned. I've downloaded snoopium and this weekend I'm going to play around with this issue thoroughly, and see what I come up with.

Thanks for the great effort in helping me out guys! I'll let you know what happens.

OK, after lots of playing around, I've almost made everything work.

I can access Genesis Prefs, and I've basically cloned settings from my A4000 system which is now offline. OS3.9 on it also uses Genesis and once I was able to access it in MOS it was very easy to set everything up as I am already familiar with Genesis from the classic AOS usage.

Anyway, I can get as far as the Genesis Connect / Disconnect screen, however as soon as I click on Connect, the Genesis window would freeze. I suspect that the MUI classes required that I've added (as per what Snoopium failed to read) were not all MOS specific, and some were from classic AOS. Does this matter?

Is there a place where I could download all, or most of the latest MOS MUI classes?


Thanks.

68k MUI classes should work (however when morphos version exist you should better use them).
Did you setup your ethernet card properly in Genesis ? This must be one of the rare setting that is different to your OS3.9 installation. I am not in front of my Peg now but I can post a screenshot later if you can not figure it out.

@cdfr:

Yeah, that sounds good. If you can, please post a screenshot.

You may be right about the ethernet. I'm not sure which device should I use for the on-board ethernet port (there's two of them in SYS:DEVS/Networks).

You should use the rhine one. The Gigabit ethernet port is not yet supported under MorphOS.
Make also sure you have your RJ45 cable in the right port.

MorphOS native MUI custom classes are listed here.

If you copied 68k classes to SYS:Classes/MUI you are on safe ground. I dont know why Genesis freezes though... I had similar problem with Miami years ago but it was a bug in driver and got fixed. Use via_rhinepci.device for onboard ethernet next to parallel port.

OK it would take several screenshots to cover all tabs so it is easier to give you what I changed. It may be different depending on your network setup (I have a router here).

If I do not forget anything this is it.

Remember to put all your MUI classes in SYS:CLASSES/MUI

If it still does not work please post detailed information of the failure.

It works now.
It turns out that a small little MUI class slipped through the cracks "term.mcc". After installing it, everything works just great. I'm posting this from IBrowse 2.3 demo.

Thanks for all the help guys. You are the best.
