You should download all-bin-2007-11-15.zip from

You should add them to the ResourceFS at bootup. Put an Obey file in
$.!Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk containing
| edit 'myharddisc' to whatever you call your hard disc
set Root$Path ADFS::myharddisc.$.
Alias Check IfThere %%1 then %%0 %%1
Check AddApp Root:Apps.!Paint
Check AddApp Root:Apps.!Draw
and so on. This will overwrite the links to the ROM versions in
Resources:$.Apps.
Actually I set the variable Root$Path in the following small Basic
program that is run first in $.!Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk:
REM Find Hard drive name
DIM B% 255
SYS "OS_FSControl",37,"<Boot$Dir>.^",B%,,,256 TO ,,Root$
OSCLI "Path Root "+Root$+"."
END
The point is that the hard disc's name is then nowhere explicit
in the bootup process, which means that nothing has to be altered
when it comes to copying !Boot to a new hard disc, if all references
to it use Root$Path.
