APPENDIX A: Configuration
The RISC OS 4 configuration tool gives you great control over your system, making it easy
for you to set up the machine according to your own personal preference. In addition, it
allows 3rd party developers to add their own windows to simplify the setting up of
peripherals and expansion cards or other enhancements.
To launch the Configure tool, double click on the !Boot folder in the root directory of your
main hard disc.
Pressing the Menu mouse button over the main window allows you to load and save the
whole set of CMOS (internal to your computer) settings, to make it easier to bring back your
system should it be necessary to reset it to its factory defaults.
You can also load the !Help utility and reset your machine back to its factory settings.
The Boot Tool
This offers a way of setting up how your system boots up. The Boot sequence tool consists
of four sections
:
Clicking on each button opens a window allowing you to drag in applications and
directories. If you drag a directory to one of these windows, the effect will be
applied to everything in that folder. Note that you will have to reboot for changes
to take effect.
