Pre-requisites
The purpose of this section is to identify all of the aspects that need to be addressed before heading down this path, and to
make sure this is really what you want to do. The following are required before embarking on this process:
- AmigaOne AmigaOS 4.0 Install CD.
- AmigaOne AmigaOS 4.0 Update 1.
(minimum - preferably Updates 2 and 3 as well, although 2 can probably be skipped now.)
- AmigaOne Installer CD for Debian Linux with Kernel 2.4.26 or later.
(The version which may have been delivered with the AmigaOne installs Woody using the 2.4.19 and is too old - a later
version can be downloaded from http://members.optusnet.com.au/amigaone/.)
- Disk 1 from the Debian Woody Linux for PPC distribution
(This may also have been delivered with the AmigaOne. Until recently, it and the other 6 CDs that make up the
distribution could be freely downloaded from any of the sites that are listed at http://www.debian.org,
but since the release of Sarge they no longer appear to be available. The AmigaOne Debian Linux Install CD is hard-coded
for Woody, and as yet there is no version for Sarge.)
- U-Boot should at version 1.1.1 and preferably as recent as possible.
The next section describes Installing AmigaOS 4.0 in a Dual-Boot Environment.
