AROS X86 INFO

[AMIGASYSTEM]

First I would like to know if AROS x86 uses or maps a ROM or everything is on File?

I noticed that AROS x86 has few Resident data (included in ROM) only Handler and Filesystem, is this motivated by the little space in ROM or is it just a choice?

I ask this because on AROS 68k instead has many system files in ROM and two ROMs available to hold the data....

AROS x86 does not have ROM per-se. All libraries are loaded from disk. The libraries "forming" ROM are loaded by grub and initialized. From there, normal AROS/Amiga boot process continues.

OK that's why there are no resident comadi, thanks !

I learned that the difficult way while trying to solve the ugly PNG Icon problem.

For testing I recompiled Icon Library for 68k and copied it to Libs but that didn't work. As deadwood mentioned Icon Library and other libraries are contained in ROM on AROS 68k. So I had to recompile and replace the ROM files instead. That worked.

However, for AROS x86 when I recompiled Icon Library and copied it to Libs it loaded at startup. No ROM recompiling.

AROS X86 as OS 3.9 does not have the icon.library in ROM, while AROS 68k as OS 3.0/3.1 has the icon.library in ROM, in this case to use the icon.library present in Libs it is necessary to deactivate the resident one with the RemLib command.
