4 messages in this thread
well you were right i cant save to perfs… tried with the beep did
a cold boot, and no change… here is a copy of what i have done..

one other thing i wanted to ask you, do your drive click louder under
2.1 then they did under 1.3??? mine do. they also grind when you
first boot to 2.1.. kinda strange.

give it the eye and let me know… nexts weeks question will be on
upgrading my hard drive.. i only have a 40 and its time to expand..
which reminds me hard drive access is slower under 2.1 also.??? so
many problems.
Drive clicking? I have been using various versions of software
declickers so long I couldn't tell you. BTW, I'm using Nick Wilson's
NoClick program and it works fine under 2.1. Hard drive access time
seems very quick to me, did you upgrade directly from 1.3? If so,
you are probably running the hard drive under the old fast file
system. Now, whether you can change this I'm not really sure, since
your system needs to run under both 1.3 and 2.1. The best bet is to
call whoever made your HD interface and ask them.
As for the prefs, well, I'm not sure what is the best way to do what you
want. The problem is that the path to ENVARC: is predefined, and that is
where the pref programs write their settings. It is not, however, where
your system is set up to keep them. O.K., try this:
1. Make the drawer dh0:prefs
2. Copy (all) the drawer dh0:WB21/prefs/env-archive to dh0:prefs
3. Change (again) the line Copy >NIL: dh0:WB21/prefs/env-archive: RAM:ENV
ALL NOREQ *to* Copy >NIL: dh0:prefs/env-archive RAM:ENV ALL NOREQ
I don't know if you made any typos when you wrote this in your
message, but be sure there is no ":" after the "env-archive". Try
changing the beep again and let me know how it goes, this one might
really work. (crossing fingers) <G>
Karl (& Mark),
Just FWIW, so's folks will know…
The Release 2.0 package includes a FastFileSystem in L: on one of the
distribution disks that's 1.3/2.0 compatible. If you copy that into your
l: dir, you can leave l:FastFileSystem in the RBD, not do anything with
your drive and still run either 1.3 or 2.0.
I believe the info on this is in the Getting Started booklet but NOT in
the 3-ring manuals.

Yeah, I dimly remember, but Mark is doing such a non-standard sort of
thing that I thought he'd be better off with guidance from his HD
interface maker. Thanks though.
