Excellent, I'm glad I asked now! =o)

I'm drinking it now, and I think I'm about to!

I like the sound of manually making the filesystems and
untarring the files. Are there other things the installer

I doubt it would run on my A600 (the only Amiga I have in
this country). If I were back in Britain I'd probably be
tempted to stick a PowerPC accellerator in the A1500 I have
laying around somewhere.
