Hi all.
I was wondering - is there a possibility to add/run any linux file-commander / browser to The A500 Mini?
What I mean is - now I have to copy files from the Net into A500M on my PC but it wold be useful to have something like that directly on the Amiga.
Or maybe it exist already...?
Regards. J8

I see. It looks really interesting. Still, there are only several short sentences there, in every message. Do you think there is any full / comprehensive article about the program? (Or at least some extensive YouTube video to learn of the subject-matter?) I would like to know more. Kind regards.

Fatnastic, thank you. I think I will check it out soon; pls tell me - does it influcence in any way the original A500 Mini or does it work and install itself only on an USB stick (leaving the original A500 Mini untouched if the USB stick is out)? Thanks.

It runs everything from the usb drive, its like a Linux system so it boots into PCUAE from starting the machine, the only thing mainly that get copied to the firmware is PCUAE Autoboot Mode Start up Script so PCUAE can boot itself.
PCUAE can boot into different Modes so boots them from start up.
It Modes are:
PCUAE Mode - Add your own games in the carousel, export Gamelist Views from PCUAE Manager and load them in the carousel. Amiga Mode - Boot into Workbench 1.3, Workbench Advanced 3.1, Tiny Launcher so you can play Amiga games. Atari Mode - Boot Atari 8/16bit - Atari 800XL Load games from Disk or Tapes images, Atari ST with a Hard Drive with games included Linux Mode - Boot into Linux Windows X so you can do things in it that you can't do in THEC64 normally so you can do things in it you would need a PC for. Vice Mode - Boot into VICE Emulator so load up PET, VIC20, C64, C16/Plus4, C128, C64 DTV(games included).

There is Midnight Commander Manager in PCUAE, it in the PCUAE Options Menu if I remember, have not used it in a while.

> the only thing mainly that get copied to the firmware is PCUAE Autoboot Mode Start up Script so PCUAE can boot itself. ------------------------------------Hi,but does it mean it might change the original machine in possibly unwanted fashion (for example that in effect other systems on other USB sticks would stop working)? Or is it completely impossible and the change will not affect them?
