ok. not an answer to one of your questions BUT a helpfull couple of
tips:
When u install dopus it is supposed to make a copy of loadwb called
loadwb_old so that u can hold down shift at boot to go into wb not
dopus.
However it doesnt actually do this so in shell go into c: and type
Copy LoadWB LoadWB_Old to make a copy. then install dopus as normal.
Make sure u use both of the updates (5.81 & .82) which are on the aa
cds as these will allow compatibility with wb3.5/9. otherwise yer
icons will be screwed.
also. if you want the ability to quit into wb from dopus (rather than
rebooting) (and this was in Neil's aa tutorial btw - which u shoud
read) then under settings:scripts/shutdown set an AmigaDOS command
that reads: C:LoadWB_Old SKIPWBSTARTUP and when u quit dopus wb
will load. :)
Thats pretty much the basics. but if you want more then by all means
mail me privatly and if I cant help I'll tell u to write to aa ml too
;-)
Tattybies.
biff.
See you all at WOAse!
