1 Scalos - The Amiga Desktop Replacement
2 ======================================
4 Scalos is a desktop environment for AmigaOS3/4, MorphOS and AROS. It
5 is an Open Source effort which is hosted at Sourceforge:
6 https://sourceforge.net/projects/scalos/
8 You can find a lot of information on its homepage:
9 http://scalos.noname.fr/
11 Please, use the ticket tracker at https://sourceforge.net/p/scalos/tickets/
12 to send any bug reports and feature requests.
14 Try to provide as much information about your configuration as possible
15 - *THIS IS IMPORTANT*.
18 CPU, Graphics system, screen depth, enforcer/cyberguard hit log.
21 Scalos prefs such as bob system type, what you have checked in
22 the "misc." options of the scalos prefs program etc. Anything you think
23 could be related to your problem.
25 Also, provide some means for us to contact you if the
26 bug is hard to re-create at our end also.
33 (For AROS see below) An installer script is included in the archive, and
34 should install all required files to the appropriate places. If you are
35 installing Scalos for the first time, a default configuration is installed, too.
37 After installation, reboot and test away!
39 Due to unclear licensing conditions, we can not include the original Amiga
40 installer in this archive. Especially MorphOS users may not have Installer
41 available on their machines. They can get it from here:
43 http://aminet.net/util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha
45 Here you can find some of the non-standard MUI MCCs required for Scalos Prefs:
47 http://main.aminet.net/dev/mui/MCC_Urltext.lha
48 http://main.aminet.net/dev/mui/MCC_Lamp.lha

53 If anything else is missing, do not hesitate to contact us
54 at Scalos@VFEmail.net !
57 If you display "%pr" processor information in the screen title bar, you
58 will need to remove the prepended "68" to the string. For PPC support,
59 we had to change the string returned by "%pr", so for an 68040 processor,
60 now "68040" is returned instead of "040".
62 If you use non-English Scalos catalog, then please make sure you are using
63 the latest language catalog from the website. Currently, only the French
64 and German catalogs are continously kept up-to-date.
67 Installation on MorphOS 2.x machines
