 Simply unpack the archive, copy the icon into ''Prefs/'' and ''TsiMixerInit'' to ''C:''. Then edit ''S:user-startup'' and add the line ''C:TskiMixerInit'' at the very end.
+====== Create a (Workbench) Boot Disk ======
+The following command installs a bootsector:
+<code dos>
+install DF0:
+</code>
+to a diskette inserted in ''DF0:'' and it is sufficient to make the Amiga boot to a CLI.
+The following commands create the ''C:'' command directory and the ''S:'' startup directory necessary to get Workbench running:
+<code dos>
+makedir DF0:s
+makedir DF0:c
+</code>
+The ''LoadWB'' command from ''C:'' must be copied into ''C:'':
+<code dos>
+copy C:LoadWB to DF0:c/
+</code>
+Finally a startup sequence file is created in ''DF0:s/startup-sequence'' containing the following commands:
+<code dos>
+Loadwb
+endcli
+</code>
+The diskette is now bootable and will load Workbench on startup.
+====== Fixing Hyperion Quake 2 Spin / Turn Issues ======
+Hyperion Quake 2 seems to be incompatible with the "Joystick monitoring" feature of BlitzBlank such that if BlitzBlank is running when Quake 2 is ran, the whole screen / view will spin around as if the turn left or turn right key is being held down. The result is an unplayable mess with a lot of headaches to debug what the culprit may be: clues would indicate some mouse wheel conflicts since "turn left" and "turn right" are by default bound to "mouse wheel up" and "mouse wheel down", after remapping the turn keys further hints are provided by some random error messages shown in-game by Quake stating that some "joy" button is not mapped indicating that some joystick / joypad signal is being generated and picked up by Quake. Diabling FreeWheel, or MultimediaKeyboardMM does not seem to fix the issue and, as it turns out, the joystick monitoring feature of BlitzBlank is somehow generating signals on its own.
+{{fuss:fuss_amiga_hyperion_quake2_screen_spin_issue_blitzblank.png}}
+The easiest fix is to simply disable the "Joystick-Check" feature of BlitzBlank from BlitzBlankPrefs.
