Tom Neidhardt on ANF Important for all EASys customers!
Dear customers, this is an important note to all "old" and "new" Easyans:
On the installation of the system, the following broken entries in the User-Startup might lead to severe problems: Especially Turboprint and some MUI installations seem to have User-Startup entries that do start with ;BEGIN TurboPrint but don't have an ;END TurboPrint. This is not in line with the Commodore Amiga Style Guide and, in the current implementation of the Installer script, does lead to an error that leaves the new startup prodcedure of the system unstable. This can be fixed as follows:
Systems already installed are best uninstalled with help of the Deinstall script from the CD, rebooted, and their S:User-Startup modified according to the above. Then, a new installation should work. Upon first install, do the modifications to the S:User-Startup first. Ideally, every program installed should have an entry like this (replace [Program] with the according program's name):

;BEGIN [Program]
...assignments and commands...
;END [Program]

I want to say sorry for the trouble this might have caused! Please regard the note in the installation guide that installations to PFS boot partitions leads to startup problems due to bugs in PFS. A temporal installation to a FFS copy of the boot partition and copying back the files afterwards helps in this case.
