- This distribution requires components from the Workbench and
- Extras (AbasiC) disks to build a bootable disk containing Polydraw and
- Polyfractals. The following instructions should be sufficient to build
- a bootable disk assuming a system with two disk drives. Other
- configurations must be custom built.
-
- Lines that begin with "1>" are lines that are to be entered as commands.
- Lines that begin with "#" are comments about the "1>" lines.
-
- # Clone a standard Workbench disk. After booting and escaping to a CLI
- # window, type the following command, then insert the Workbench in df0:
- # (if not already there) and a blank disk in df1:
-
- 1> diskcopy df0: to df1:
-
- # Relabel the newly cloned disk so they can be distinquished.
-
- 1> relabel df1: Polydraw
-
- # Chuck the pieces from the new disk that are not necessary.
-
- 1> delete Polydraw:Clock#?
- 1> delete Polydraw:Preferences#?
- 1> delete Polydraw:Empty#? all
- 1> delete Polydraw:Demos#? all
- 1> delete Polydraw:Utilities#? all
- 1> delete Polydraw:System#? all
- 1> delete Polydraw:Trashcan#? all
-
- # Now overlay the AbasiC stuff from the Extras disk. My current version
- # of the original Extras disk contains only a half dozen or so files, related
- # to AbasiC.
-
- 1> copy Extras: Polydraw: all
-
- # Now overlay the Polydraw and Polyfractals files from the Freely
- # Redistributable Library disk. Note that all the contents of the
- # Polydraw and Polyfractals directories on the library disk are
- # copied to the new disk.
-
- 1> copy AmigaLibDisk15:Polydraw Polydraw: all
- 1> copy AmigaLibDisk15:Polyfractals Polydraw: all
-
- You should now have a bootable Polydraw disk.
-
- Enjoy!
