4809.0. "How do I know which workbench is latest?" by BAHTAT::BAHTAT::HILTON (How's it going royal ugly dudes?) Tue Jun 11 1991 05:27

    I just recently got a hard drive, the software installation
    automagically puts workbench onto my autoboot partition. However it
    doesn't seem to put everything over. 
    
    How do I work out whether the install's wbench is later than my
    commodore disk I got with Ami?
    
    Is there a copy parameter that will only copy things onto the
    destination if they aren't there already? And maybe prompt you with an
    option to replace a file?
    
    Cheers,

4809.1Version: just ask itMR4DEC::GAYUnderground living can be Hobbit formingWed Jun 12 1991 12:1215
    The quickest way to get the workbench version number is from the 
    workbench's pulldown menu.  There's an entry ("info" or "version") 
    that gives the workbench and kickstart version numbers.
    
    Boot each of your hard disk and your floppy system and see!
    
    The difference between one and the other should be the hard 
    disk driver and mountlists, so if your floppy is more recent, just 
    copy everything else over.
    
    There was an update from Commodore available on the net some time 
    back which I applied to my hard disk system with no problems.

4809.2How do I get updatesBAHTAT::BAHTAT::HILTONHow's it going royal ugly dudes?Wed Jun 12 1991 12:388
    What was this update? 
    
    How do Commodore handle updates? I registered with Commodore and get
    promo info from them, but nothing about updates!
    
    cheers,
