I installed LITE on Apollo 6000. Found issues:
- icon.library is not being copied during installation (when checking the archive in windows it is the only file that is "hidden", however I didn't expect that Amiga installer running under non-UAE hardware will skip this file), I copied it manually later;

- remlib doesn't exist in C:, needed to download it from Aminet;

- startup-sequence attempts to start Network-Startup, but such file doesn't exist as well.

These are only minor, quickly solvable issues. Now I need to play with it further, but looks like you did really nice job to make it look and work like this. Saved me a lot of time :-)

Did you use Willem Drijver ApolloBoot trio / multi ? remlib and network probably more comes from this package. As you have it can be done without Apollo Boot as well ;) I did a extra check on icon.library, it is copied over...

No, I don't use Apollo boot. I now play with Coffin, 3.2 and 3.1 (this is a harder part) to make all of them looking and working as I like, this sometimes ends with formatting CF, so I will probably merge them in Apollo Boot when I will achieve what I want first.

Icon.library is not a big deal, as it is in the package, but for whatever reason, when installer was booted on clean install of 3.2.3 on A6000 the file was skipped and the only thing I found that the file is hidden in windows. I would think that it shouldn't make a difference for AmigaOS, especially that it was normally shown under 3.2 after I unpacked the archive, but, well, mystery thing happened and it was skipped.

After all, it's all working nice after manually adding icon.library and remlib, and the network I will manage in the future, there is working script under Coffin, just a matter of time for me. But good to know that ApolloBoot adds extra stuff.

Once again, nice job. It really helps to make the system more usable, especially that I had 20 years gap in using Amiga and I need to refresh my memory in many things.
