I've just upgraded to RISC OS 4 - not as smoothly as I would hope though.

The first problem occurred during the installation of the software from
the CD. It barfed with an error saying that there was already a file
Diversions.!Flasher.!Help.

I clicked Continue and the installer then installed again! This time it
barfed on another file, and so I clicked Continue again.

This time it warned me that I already had an InactivRes and an InactivOld
and invited me to delete one of them. So, I deleted InactivOld, thinking
I already had the backup in InactivRes. NOT SO! The installer had backed
up its own !Boot and I now had two copies of that in the Inactiv folders
and not my original.

At that point, I decided to quit the installer as it couldn't get past
the files it was complaining about. At least the new !Boot was there,
even if the new Apps and Utilities weren't.

I did the ROM upgrade OK and rebooted first time with no problems.

So, I went to my CD backup of my !Boot which I had made with CDBurn. I'd
had problems with CDBurn only doing 24 files to a directory, but I
thought I'd be all right. Sod's law says that the stuff I needed was in
the bit that didn't get copied.

Next step was to configure my network card. I used the Network window in
the Configure application, but it wouldn't save. It just gave an error
message 'Not open for update'. This problem is still unresolved. In the
meantime I've copied over my Choices.Internet folder from the original
(that was saved) and it works. But trying to save to it gives the same
error.

I had to use StrongEd until I could get Zap up and running, but the
version inside RO4 kept quitting with data abort errors. It also had a
nasty habit of opening up applications when they were clicked on
alternate occasions. Weird.  Anyway Zap's working now and doesn't
misbehave.

I lost WebServe and !Webcache from my !Boot.Resources as they were
directories 25 and 26 and didn't get copied by CDBurn, so it looks as
though I might have to reinstall from the original CD. Which I'm not
looking forward to as it will probably screw up RISC OS 4 with old
toolbox modules etc.

Which brings me to the question, what modules should I have inside
310.Modules.Network and 310.Modules.Network.URL?

I don't seem to have as many as I should and Browse won't load up without
them HTTP is one wants and that's nowhere to be found :-(

Could some kind soul let me have a list of the required modules - if
possible with version numbers so that I can try and extract them from
archives.

Anyway, apart from the above it's looking good. I need an answer to the
Network config not saving, but at least it's working.

Cheers,

Ray D
