G'Day, This is a follow up to a messsage I posted asking what was going wrong when I tried to install Unix from scratch on a A3000UX. The installtion was failing because the "Root Filesystem" floppy disk has to be write enabled. If their is anyone from Commodore reading this, this might be a useful tip to add to the "Installing Amiga Unix" manual. Apart from that, the whole installation procedure is relatively painless and easy to accomplish. If I can manage it, then I'm sure just about anybody could. John Verhoeven (johnv@DIALix.oz.au)

Since we didn't know about this problem, and didn't intend for it to work this way, we didn't document it. Once we found it, we documented it in both the 1.1 Release Notes (included with all 1.1 3000UX systems) and the second issue of Tech Notes. > > Apart from that, the whole installation procedure is relatively > painless and easy to accomplish.
