Because I had installed RISC OS 5.28 before I have the belonged files
already in my two archives on hard disc. Many thanks!

Many thanks for the hint!

I cannot remind if I had it installed. Anyway, the file seems to be in
my archive (ROD_TCPIP_700/zip).

After starting !Install and clicking on 'Uninstall then Reboot' it seems
to me that it didn't do nothing before a reboot but it may be that the
work was done very fast. After reinstalling the file
Titanium-Soft/5/30/zip.soft.!Boot it goes straight to to the desktop
now without showing the Network Config Window. However, the monitor
resolution was 640 x 480 then. In panel !Boot -> Configuration -> Screen
I couldn't find a higher resolution as 640 x 500 for _ALL_ Monitor types
yet:

That's too less for the work here.

After monkey around a while I found out that I can get a monitor
resolution of 1280 x 1024 when I choose Monitor type 'Native':

However, I was not able to save the change:

http://home.chiemgau-net.de/ausserstorfer/Temp/2024-10-10/PA102340.JPG
(117 kB)

because the system was missing the variable PreDesk$Configure:

http://home.chiemgau-net.de/ausserstorfer/Temp/2024-10-10/PA102341.JPG
(164 kB)

So I added the file

!Boot.Choices.Boot.PreDesk.Configure.!Run

to the list in

!Boot -> Configure -> Boot -> Run:

http://home.chiemgau-net.de/ausserstorfer/Temp/2024-10-10/PA102342.JPG
(162 kB)

I don't know if this is correct but the system recognizes the higher
monitor resolutions now after a restart.

This tinkering claimed around two hours. This is the point why normally
I don't do updates. There are always annoying problems.

Many thanks,

A.
