Can anyone help me please
I have now installed a cf drive in my 600 of 4gig named cdh1, I have workbench2.1 installed.

When I try to install my real copy of Amos creator, it complains saying it cant find my device and another time it said there was not enough memory on it and it needed slightly more then 3 meg??

Could it be anything to do with the FFS I used?

Thank you for any ideas

This is an old bug in the install script.  If there is more than 2 GB free on the device, a signed integer variable will wrap around to a negative number.  It thinks you've got less than zero space on the drive.

Surely, setting up drive correctly can get around this?
500MB boot, then split rest into 1.5gb partitions.

@fol
That's the usual work-around, yes.
