Last post by pTeK - Today at 04:30:16 AMQuote from: Rob Blessin Black Hole on February 17, 2019, 02:12:10 AMAs root:
DeveloperTools.pkg
DeveloperLibs.pkg
ProfileLibs.pkg
GNUSource.pkg
DeveloperDoc.pkg
I'm installing 3.3 at the moment on Previous Emulator. I'm using a 3.3 Developer iso from archive.org but it does not have ProfileLibs.pkg on the CD?
I'm also now installing NeXT_EOF-3.3.iso, is there a set order to install each package as listed above for the Developer CD?
NEXTSTEPDeveloperPatch.pkg (before)
EODeveloper.pkg
FoundationUserPatch.pkg ??
EOUser.pkg ??
Thanks
Update 1:
I don't have the link for the developer.iso from www.archive.org but I do have the md5sum and file size:

Last post by wizard - Today at 02:39:39 AMQuote from: paolo.bertolo on May 28, 2023, 06:56:07 AMSo, I managed to create a working physical copy (CD ROM) of the image linked at macintosh repository.
By default, it seems as though Mac OS is not able to mount or burn the image, but using some third party tool I managed to.
It's now installed on my Cube 030 (took forever).
Still struggling with the password: the one in the original license certificate I have is not valid for this installation...
Try the generator linked in this thread.

Last post by wizard - May 27, 2023, 06:56:11 AMQuote from: paolo.bertolo on May 26, 2023, 06:12:58 PMThank you for the tip. However, once the download is completed and the image unzipped, I can't do much with it, MacOS is telling me it's an unrecognized format.
Am I missing something?

NeXT Work Logs / Re: Daydream ROM box kit
Last post by MindWalker - May 26, 2023, 01:43:05 PMOk, had time to test this more. Needed to use the workaround for the patcher (and get the right 2.1 kernel from the floppies) but now I am starting to get it (I'll try to writing some instructions).
This is neat! At least in Previous the Mac side feels pretty fast, too.
I have some small issues that prevented me getting futher into Mac-side install:
- Mac-side: rebooting with alt pressed should reboot to NeXTStep but I couldn't get this to work (could be a keymap issue)
- Mac floppies do not appear at all in Mac-side (works on NeXT side but not in the boot screen or desktop on Mac side)
- To avoid the floppy issue I used a premade image RaSCSI-Boot-7.0.1.hda (attached as a SCSI hard drive) and it works. 7.5.3 would start booting but halt halfway (didn't test booting without extensions). I created a new 120MB disk file with the Daydream's utility and copied the System folder from the RaSCSI's image into that.
This was all in Previous 2.7. If I can get 7.1 and some software into my Daydream disk file, I'll try and get it over to my mono-slab to see how it performs.
Note a typo in the prompt
