    Just became a MorphOS thru MorphOS PowerUP on my Amiga 4000 after using AmigaOS for many years.
    My knowledge about how to use AmigaOS is quite big but now when I've started using MOS I feel like a noob ;)
    So I would like some advice on some things.

    I'm planning to install Ibrowse which I'll use for my browsing and plan to use the install script with installer from Aminet but not sure if it's wise since it may overwrite some PPC Mui stuff..or am I wrong?
    Secondly I'm wondering if there's a good unpacker with a GUI that you guys recommend :)

    Hi and welcome!

    I am quite new myself (also Powerup-user), so I am not sure if I am the right one to answer your questions, but anyway...

    That's also what I first thought, but after a few days I realized how similar it was. ;)

    There shouldn't be any problems with that since Morphos has a dedicated directory (Mossys:) where all the system files are placed. If IBrowse installs any MUI-classes (e.g. newstring), they will go to sys: and not mossys:
    I had no problems in using the default installer script.
    Btw, you can download an updated newstring beta on the Ibrowse website.

    I can recommend Voodoo-X. Make sure to install the xadmaster060.lha (Aminet!) before.
    Btw, are you still using the original MUI and Ambient versions?

    Thanks for the tips :)

    Haven't installed any other MUI stuff than what comes with MOS PUP
