GENERAL

Download the last Aranym release from http://aranym.sf.net, and the AFROS disk image corresponding to this Aranym release. Install Aranym, and copy the AFROS disk image in your usual place (/home/arnaud/ara/disk.img in my config). In your config file, [IDE1]-Path must point to this AFROS disk image.

Then, run aranym, and press CTRL key during the EmuTOS boot. Open the C: drive (your EasyAraMint boot drive) and the E: drive (the last AFROS disk). We'll then have to copy some files from E: to C: to update our EasyAraMint system.

The files to check are
AUTO/*
GEMSYS/ARANYM.SYS
MINT/*
XAAES/*

From Aranym/AFROS 0.8.2 to 0.8.5

In your config file (easymint.cnf or ~/.aranym/config) change the following line:
Cookie_MCH=0x300000
to
Cookie_MCH=0x500000

This new cookie value is used to identify the machine as being Aranym.

The files to update (copy from E: to C:) are
