The Doctor is IN!

Remove each occurance of Devs:Modules/ from the BlizKick line :)

Why are you doing this?

If you use Harry Sintonen's 44.1 exec replacement, you won't need this
line at all.

> C:LoadModule L:Ram-Handler NOREBOOT

Use BlizKick for this.

Use BlizKick to load ALL of the SetPatch modules, and use the
NOROMUPDATE flag (or rename Devs:AmigaOS Rom Update to
something else).

Why?

If you're being anal about your ss, use TRSaferPatches instead of
PatchControl - it's by the same guy who did muLib, you may as
well keep like with like (and it's better IMO :)

> C:MuFastZero MoveSSP FastExec ON

I don't have this line. Moving the SSP seems pointless. And with
the 44.1 exec (and by a quirk of me using LocalFast as an option
for Blizkick) exec is in Fast RAM anyway.

> C:StartupControl_V1.3

What's this for?

If it's any use, here are the first few lines of my SS:

~~
;Set Echo "ON"
Stack 8000
C:StackAttack MIN=8000 ADD=1092

C:BlizKick QUIET DEVS:kick441 EXTRESBUF=80000 LocalFast scsi.device FastFileSystem filesystem.resource ram-handler console.device NoClick
C:LoadIDE QUIET
C:SetPatch NOROMUPDATE QUIET
~~

Thanks
