Arca Noae is pleased to announce the immediate availability of ArcaOS 5.0.1, the first maintenance release of ArcaOS 5.0 (Blue Lion).
ArcaOS 5.0.1 is the result of many hours of work to adjust things discovered after the release of ArcaOS 5.0, particularly impacting installation of the operating system. Of course, there are many other post-install fixes included, as well, and these will be made available for separate download as part of the ArcaOS 5.0 Support & Maintenance subscription shortly. In the meantime, a full download of the refreshed media image is required to obtain these fixes and updates.
If everything is working in your current installation, it may be prudent to wait for the subscription content to become available, as Arca Noae has not classified any of the 5.0.1 updates as critical.
If you have experienced difficulty installing ArcaOS 5.0, the fixes and updates included in 5.0.1 may address your issue(s).
For a complete list of updates in this release, see the ArcaOS wiki.
To download your fresh ISO, simply visit your customer portal page, select the Orders & Subscriptions link on the navigation panel to the left, then click on the order for your ArcaOS license. Once there, click the download link to request a fresh ISO, and wait for your notification email.
But the system includes other versions of drivers and libraries,
system directories structure is different.
so it's necessary verify the compatibility.
If you have old OS/2, let's prepare it for upgrade
(migration to new version).
Step 1-ый: send config.sys from old OS/2 / eCS to eCo Software.
to email: support (at) os2 (dot) guru
file
+ email + name/nickname + model of pc
(so you can remember what computer)
The assistant uility will be free for users.
What way of migration to select?
The system has "migration" mode when new files overwrite old files.
a) some programs are cutted and don't work anymore
b) in any case the users want install the system to fresh hard drive / ssd
Other way - copy directories with the programs.
OS/2 programs don't have migration function so part of programs will not start
after move.
We offer this way:
You install new system to new hard drive.
Migration assistant is collecting information from old disk about installed
software and data for you.
