- Short: Multi startup-sequence boot using mouse buttons
- Author: sebju@club-internet.fr
- Uploader: sebju@club-internet.fr
- Type: util/boot
-
- Requierment :
-
- - An Amiga with an hard drive (this program is not very usefull without an
- hardrive !)
- - MUI 3.8 is needed for the prefs program (not tested on earlier versions)
- - the main program should work on any version of the Workbench (tested only on 3.x)
-
- Description:
-
- It's a simple program that allow you to boot from differents Startup-sequence files
- by Pressing the left, the right or the middle mouse button (a different file will be
- executed depending on witch button you've pressed).
- It's totaly tranparent, unlike thoses softs that display a menu or something else. it means
- that your Amiga always boot as fast as possible: if no mouse button is pressed, the original
- startup-sequence file is launghed, and if you press a mouse button, a different startup-sequence
- is executed (instead of the original one) automagicaly without any other click !
-
- I use it to boot MacOS via Shapeshifter in " quick mode " without loading the WB or booting with
- "no startup sequence". By this way, the MacOS boot like if I had a real Mac :)
- I use it also to boot linux PPC directly wothout starting the workbench, thus it look like a real
- OS that boot without the help of another OS !
-
- But don't be affraid,
- you can boot other things than Shapeshifter or Linux PPC, it's just an exemple ! You can do for
- example, different startup file to boot on other hardrive, or to boot a light version of your
- startup-sequence to gain memory for games or something else...
-
- Read the guide for more details and to setup (VERY EASY you'll See !)
-
- Historic :
-
- - V 1.0 : first version of OneTouchMac.
-
- - V 1.1 : A big bug as been removed : it was impossible to use the right mouse button
-
- - V 2.0 : - Support for middle Mouse button added
- - a GUI Pref program added for easy setup and correctly insertion of the command
- syntax (all is automatic, you just have to choose witch file has to be assigned
- to witch mouse button)
- - Install and Uninstall scripts fully functionals added
- - The Sources are no longer distributed with this archive, because I don't think
- that it's very interesting. Mail me if you want it...
-
- - V 2.5 : - Main program rewritted. it's smaller (6.8 kb instead of 12 kb)
- - The GUI Prefs Program is now in MUI and it's a lot reliable and bugfree:
- You will never see again the OneTouchMac command 2 times in your Startup-sequence
- if you don't use the Prefs program correctly.
- - Installation and UnInstallation are done via the Installer
