Short: Multiple startup-sequence manager Author: sebju@club-internet.fr Uploader: sebju@club-internet.fr Version: 1.01 Type: util/boot Replace: Bootmanager.lha IN THIS VERSION THE PREFS PROGRAM DO NOT CRASH UNDER WORKBENCH ! Requierment : - An Amiga with an hard drive (this program is not very usefull without an hardrive !) - MUI 3.8 is needed for the prefs program (not tested on earlier versions) - the main program should work on any version of the Workbench (tested only on 3.x) Description: This is a simple program wich allows you to boot from another startup-sequence by pressing one of the 10 fkeys or one of the three mouse buttons while booting. You can execute 13 differents startup-sequence files, depending on wich button you press. If you press the HELP key, your startup-sequence will be executed step by step, very usefull to find a problem :) If no button are pressed, your startup-sequence will be executed normaly so your Amiga will boot as usual. But if you press a button to wich you've assigned another startup file, this last will be executed while the real startup-sequence won't. So this is the fastest way to have multi-boot without running a menu or something else at the boot. I use it to boot MacOS via Shapeshifter in "quick mode" without loading the WB or booting with "no startup sequence". By this way, the MacOS boot like if I had a real Mac :) I use it also to boot linux PPC directly without starting the workbench, thus it look like a real OS that boot without the help of another OS ! :P ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 4397 2046 53.4% 27-May-01 22:34:04 BootManager.guide 1226 927 24.3% 02-Jan-01 19:39:44 BootManager.guide.info 1551 800 48.4% 27-May-01 22:36:14 BootManager.readme 1162 845 27.2% 02-Jan-01 19:39:44 BootManager.readme.info 8156 5065 37.8% 02-Jan-01 19:39:46 +BootManager 1940 725 62.6% 02-Jan-01 19:39:46 install 684 334 51.1% 02-Jan-01 19:39:44 install.info 11 11 0.0% 27-May-01 22:32:12 +BMPrefs 1506 1116 25.8% 27-May-01 22:31:16 +BMPrefs.info 13284 6625 50.1% 02-Jan-01 19:39:46 +BMPrefsCmd 7332 4645 36.6% 02-Jan-01 19:39:44 StartupModifier 1023 387 62.1% 02-Jan-01 19:39:46 UnInstall 684 336 50.8% 02-Jan-01 19:39:44 UnInstall.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 42956 23862 44.4% 27-May-101 21:30:38 13 files
