I guess you are right, because these is absolutely no install files in the timberwolf.lha that I once again loaded from os4Depot.net.

There is for sure no random.device on my version of AOS4.1 FE DVD

Odyssey it is :)

There is no file named "random.device".

There is - or should be - a file in Devs/DOSDrivers called RANDOM, together with its icon (RANDOM.info) with an image of a pool ball with the number 8.

If this is in Storage/DOSDrivers instead, move it over to Devs/DOSDrivers.

It should have one tooltype: "ACTIVATE=1", and the contents of the file itself (a plain text file) should be what Tony posted earlier with the reference to L:Random-Handler (which of course should also be found).

That should be it - at least after a reboot.

But you may find that you simply have too little memory in an A4000 to run either Timberwolf or Odyssey properly. You could try NetSurf or even IBrowse.

Best regards,

Niels
