That's rather free to choose.

Uhm, well, I believe that AmigaOS tries to locate the script in the same
directory. Alternatively the script location must be set explicitly.

Assigns a nice way to shorten path names as you can assign some sort of
"drive letter" to paths and can even add multiple paths to that assignment
to expand the search path like in "assign c: sys:c" && "assign c: work:c
add". 
This was for example used to access installation of apps. Instead of
work:apps/graphics/3D_Animation/Imagine you just accessed the application by
its assign name called Imagine: for example. When you moved the application
later, you just needed to update the assign line in the User-Startup config. 
Gz... good ol' times... :)

One can also refer to root of device simply by using :

So if the script is CD0:s/linux-launch and there is an icon in
CD0:amiga/launch.info with iconx (newer amigaos doesnt even need that, you
just set the icon to be of type "Launch from CLI", or "CLI" as tooltype)
that points to :s/linux-launch, that will work fine, even if the CD is
inserted in CD1: or CDR0: or whatever.

Please reupload unifont (unifont_5.1.20080914-1_m68k.changes)

[Osamu Aoki]

Hi,

about :  unifont_5.1.20080914-1_m68k.changes

Can porter to m68k re-upload this?

I did sponsor uploaded with amd64 packages.  So the following from
anthony is m64k porter issue. (d-devel post exists too.)

Although this is font package, there is a package requiring porting:
 Package: unifont-bin
 Architecture: any

Re: [patch 3/2] m68k: Atari EtherNAT - add writew_be for data push

Well, I knew that, I just wanted to show in which state usb drivers for
EtherNat are.

May I ask why? I mean FreeMiNT is open source as well.

way forward.

Or perhaps you can get more information from Lyndon Amsdon
(http://hardware.atari.org/netusbee/netus.htm). Rumours are spread that
Netusbee uses the same chip as EtherNat. :-)

In case you like to find someone who should test your drivers with both
EtherNat and Netusbee you know whom to ask. :-)

The only disadvantage is that I still don't have a running debian/m68k
machine due to the fact that the installer refused to work on my machine.

Frank

Actually, I don't remember. It has been half a year ago or more. At the
moment I am waiting for my ct63 so I can use the falcon in it's original
case. Rodolphe promised to send it in a week or two.

Then I will give the install procedure a second try.

Where are the current isos located?

Regards,

Frank

Ahh, iso's (runs screaming into the night).

 is the
canonical place for the daily cd buildds.

I'm in the process of getting those working again. 

I've been working on building with debimg since something bad happened
to my debian-cd configuration.

I've still got to figure out how to get the right version of parted on
there so atari partitions are recognized and get the d-i tools directory
on there. After that, amiga icons

Hopefully I'll have something reasonable for you to test about the time
you're ready to test. :)

Thanks,

Stephen
