The hard disk is something like 97% full. I want to back THAT up first, and I'd probably have to put another drive in. This computer is loaded to the brim with software; it even has CanDo and SAS/C.
You'll be all set to become a real Amiga dev 25 years afterwards then! Great stuff. Workbench 2.1 had BRU I believe, might be of use...
I've found on an Amiga forum how to access the HDF partitions from Linux using the losetup util:
Code:
losetup -o 65536 --sizelimit 724566K /dev/loop1 amix.hdf
mount -o loop -o ufstype=old -r -t ufs /dev/loop1 /mnt
mount -o loop -o ufstype=old -r -t ufs /dev/loop1 /mnt
AMIX uses the first 128 blocks of the disk for it's Rigid Disk Block so you have to use the offset option. Linux saves the day once again!
Meanwhile I'm running into plenty of weirdness... why can't ksh do a "cd ." when running ./configure ? It will after doing a cd..; cd thatthingimcompiling though. Daft. And of course most software barfs on compile with very unclear (for a non-dev) reasons.
