Suggestions for AosInst.Tool
by PETER EASTHOPE 22 Aug '07

22 Aug '07

Folk, particularly Sven & Ulla, AosInst.Tool allows the most efficient installation of an OS that I have ever used. Nevertheless here are some small details to improve. The third line begins, "Execute the following on Native Oberon 12.12.00 or ..." but Oberon does not have OFSTools. Section 3 should read, FileSystem.Mount AOS AosFS ^ in Oberon or OFSTools.Mount AOS AosFS ^ in Aos Section 0b should read "... will be formatted". Section 5c should read "edit disk#partition and choose ...". Section 3. "A contribution can be subject to license." would be better than "Files provided as contributions can be subject to different licenses." I know this file is under Pieter's copyright; asking his permission is worth the trouble. The OFSTools problem discourages a novice and spelling errors just appear bad. Thanks, ...

I could REALLY use a Linux-Bluebottle hybrid right about now.
by Søren Renner 22 Aug '07

http://www.tilera.com/products/processors.php http://www.tilera.com/products/boards.php Like WinAos. Or even without the windowing system. I estimate that Bluebottle on this board (hosted on Linux or Bluebottle native) would run my tracer 10 times faster at least than this Core Duo box I am using now. Can someone help me?

Ok. I see what you're wanting to do. And you are right. This is an advantage of the old Oberon interface over the current state of BlueBottle. I don't see any inherent reason why this can't be changed though. Someone just needs to add a search button in LogWindow.Mod. A save button could be added to. The BlueBottle interface is definitely a work in progress. Regards, John M.

You need to refine your question a bit. Are you wanting to: A) Find a string in an already opened document or B) Search for a string among a group of files? As for saving from the log, it's a copy and paste job. ----- Original Message ---- From: PETER EASTHOPE <peasthope(a)shaw.ca> To: oberon(a)lists.inf.ethz.ch Sent: Thursday, August 9, 2007 5:05:11 PM Subject: [Oberon] elementary usage of Aos interface Folk, Suppose Aos is displaying its innate interface and the Kernel.log is open. How can these two simple actions be performed? Search for a given string such as "USB". Store the log to a file. Thanks for any clues, ...
