[Coco] Just learning OS-9 - Questions

[Bill Pierce]

Nick,
EZGen is one of the most useful tools for modifying an OS9 boot. I use it constantly to make diffent boots themed for whatever I'm going to use the VHD for. You can add and remove modules at will. As with any "boot making" adventures... the big thing is having all the modules you need in one place.
Hopefully, that will soon be a "moot" point.

were the norm.

Yes, but after 30 years, OS-9 needs a new standard way to install and 
configure.

I'm exploring EZGEN so I'll see how that goes.

Pre-configured disks is good but this takes away some of the learning 
experience. This area of customization and configurability needs some of 
the "edge" taken off it so as to encourage people to continue learning 
and using OS-9 than detract from it.

Anyway, I think there is a solution on the way. Stay tuned...

Nick
