However this does make me think it may be useful to modify the manual in a slightly earlier section. I found spoon booted from the 'hd4' image *without* may having to specify the filesystem or drive. I assume the 'opt 4,3' was already catered for as I'd copied the hd4 from my non-spoon version. But I now assume that by default 0.8.6 comes with its config set to boot from adfs drive 4. Another question at this point: Is there a way with 0.8.6 to get a 'drive icon' for the linux user's 'home' directory onto the icon bar? The non-spoon edition does this and I think it is potentially quite handy - albiet also risky if 'write' is enabled! Let me use DeskEdit to look at the contents of files outwith rpcemu that my usual Linux editors don't show meaningfully. Having stumbled though installing on my old laptop I'll have another go later today and tidy up the notes I make as I go. Then report back on any other comments or suggestions for the webpage documentation.
