Sorry - but Boot *is* complicated. However, if the recommended update
instructions are followed it is not a problem.

That is not really suprising, if you have started with a fresh new
!Boot then the first thing to do is to configure your monitor. The
initial defaults are ones that should be available to every monitor.

But that is just the first manual update you will have to do if you
start from a new !Boot, which is why I suggest you...

- take a copy of your !Boot first.
- read the ReadMe/txt in HardDisc4/5/28/zip
- run the 5.28 InSituBootUpdate on your !Boot
- If that boots ok, follow the 5.28 ROM softload ReadMe/txt files.
    (then use Configure -> Boot -> Install)
- then boot and select the New OS 5.28.
- read the ReadMe/txt in HardDisc4/5/30/zip
- if that boots ok, run the 5.30 InSituUpdate on your !Boot
- If that boots ok, follow the 5.30 ROM softload ReadMe/txt files.
    (then use Configure -> Boot -> Install)
- Boot again, and select 5.30 ROM.

That way you should retain most if not all of your settings.

Since RISC OS 3 lots of effort has been put into making it more user
friendly, and easier to update. Delaying updates has exposed some of
the problems that still exist.
