In the event that this information cannot be gained ( some DVI-VGA adapters do not allow this information to pass through them), there is an 800*600 fallback mode which will be used as a default. The mode chosen will be displayed for you by the installer. This means that the installer now recognises the monitor connected to your Amiga automatically, and can configure the best screen resolution for you.
There is, however, one major exception to this, and that is " DDC". The installation of AmigaOS 4.1 is very straight forward, and similar to previous updates. There are many different configurations that you may have set, and the installer cannot possibly handle all eventualities. For this reason, this option is not recommended for beginners as the integrity of the system cannot be guaranteed after an update. You should perform a full " Install" as opposed to an " Update", as there are significant changes in the system which may not take full effect by simply updating over an existing system. You will be given the opportunity to configure hard disks, and/or format partitions from here too if you hadn't already done that. This is done by selecting the " Start the AmigaOS 4.1 Installation utility" icon.Īfter some time, you will be presented with the installer, and you should follow the on-screen prompts to get the system setup ready to install the new update. Once that is completed, you need to install the update.
Again, the on-screen prompts will guide you through this. If you need to setup your hard disk(s) ( partitioning or formatting), you can select the " Start the Hard Disk preparation utility." where you can perform all the required changes. You will also be offered the chance to set your keyboard layout, and any mouse specific options as well. This makes the Workbench ( and any applications that support it) use the language and regional settings you apply here. The first thing you need to do is to set the " Locale" settings. This text gives a good description of what each option is for, and may display extra useful information. Each icon allows a " rollover" so that a help text is displayed in the area at the bottom. This has replaced the old system of simple requesters with something that you can interact with and make choices on how to proceed. Once that is complete, the first thing you will see is the " Welcome" screen.
You should see a lot of disk activity from your CD drive, and after a while the " Kickstart" files will load, and be launched. Starting the update procedure is simply a matter of inserting the CD into your drive, and booting the machine as usual. The AmigaOS 4.1 Installation CD is now even easier to use.
