I found this posting I kept from last year.

I have now got a good apparently stable installation of
VRPC-AdjustSA and I'm considering whether to try installing RISC
OS 6.xx from one of the unused single-machine CDs I bought at
the last two Wakefield shows.  I'm not unaware of the hassles
this might cause, having abandoned thoughts of installing on a
real RiscPC, but I cannot see any help on the matter on the VA
Forum.

Could I have some advice whether RO6.14 is likely to be stable
on my VRPC version, and how to sort out the user rights that
Chris refers to above. [I too have a single user machine with no
passwords or users set but no access to some root folders].

Also, is it necessary to remove the 'Read only' restriction from
HostFS::HardDisc4 , as Aaron recommends?


Brian.
