- Boot Files
- ~~~~~~~~~~
-
- You can have up to 10 boot files to choose from at
- any time.
-
- To create your own first set up the desktop exactly
- as you want it. This can include:
-
- • A backdrop sprite
- • Filer windows open (eg HardDisc root)
- • Applications on the icon bar (alarm etc.)
- • Memory allocations (ram disc, font cache)
- • Files pinned to the pinboard
-
- (More details in the Acorn User Guide)
-
- Once you have set things up click with menu on the
- green acorn in the bottom right of the screen and
- select 'Desktop boot'. Enter a filename (not !Boot)
- and save it in the !MultiBoot scripts directory,
- by typing the following path into the box under
- the boot icon:
-
- <multi$dir>.scripts.[my file name]
-
- DON'T put the [ ] in.
- DO put the < > in.
-
-
- Any new files you create wont appear on the list
- until you re-load the program. You can delete,
- rename or copy these files just as you would
- with any others, and the menu will be updated.
- Now you have some files re-load the program
- so they will be on the menu.
-
- NOTE:
- ~~~~~
- If you change where you keep an application you must
- alter any Multiboot script files that run it so that
- they know where to find it.
-
- NOTE: (NOT APPLICABLE TO RISCOS 3.5 AND GREATER)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Some applications which use modules in the
- !System directory may not load if the !System
- directry has not been 'seen' by the filer. This
- may be a problem if you run applications from a
- boot file without opening the directory viewer
- of the root directory of your hard disc. To get
- round this problem include the following line in
- any boot files which casue a problem.
-
- Filer_Boot [IDEFS::HardDisc].$.!System
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The bit in brackets [] should be replaced with the
- name of your hard disc. (As shown at the top of
- a directory viewer window).
