[Coco] Just learning OS-9 - Questions

[nickma at optusnet.com.au]

Basically, if a "newbie" wants to learn about OS-9 and decides to
generate a custom disk, he needs an easy "newbie" way to select the
modules and hit "GO" and out comes a fully configure and bootable OS-9
disk.

He should not have to go hunting for drives, editing bootlists etc

Some disk/s that contain all the OS-9 modules/driver/commands known to
mortal man, together in the one place and he picks and chooses via a
menu.

We can't assume everyone who tries OS-9 is going to be a "rocket
scientist" or "engineer". 

It's the difference between fixing an OS and *USING* an OS and however
"powerful" that OS is, it means nothing if most people can't use it
and produce software for it

(climbing down from soapbox)

That felt good!   :)

I'm not sure about installation, but my CoCoBoot project is moving
along, 
and will soon add the ability to install certain modules dynamically
at 
bootup ( via config file or keyboard )... and soon cobbled blobs of
OS9 
modules will be a thing of the past. I plan on making a menu/gui
driven 
wrapper for creating boot disks for os9. Maybe this could be extended 
toward installing os9 too.
