HI,

preface, I wouldn't know a cygwin from a GCC if it him me in the head. I
just want  to D/L a .c prg into my RCX

I need advice on the process of installing BrickOS on a p233 laptop
running W98se.

my question is this:

What is a reasonable amount of time to expect the H8 part of the install
to take?? And how many megs should I expect it to take up?

I stared yesterday at 2pm and by 8 pm it was still churning out files,
and expanding. (so far 400 megs of my 700 meg HD)


I left it running all night, and came to find it still actively
"working"

is this normal??

I was following these instructions:

thanks
Chris

(BTW John, your bricxcc was the easiest, but as we have discussed I get
those signal 11 errors)

I hate to see questions go unanswered. Steve H replied to me saying it took him 12 hours under these conditions, and now that I have done it I can say it took my P233 laptop a full 24 hours to install brickOS under Paolo's instructions. I'm also sad (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
