Yeay! BeOS is Back!

Forum thread started by littlefae on Tue, 2005-06-21 17:33

Hi all,

First of all, I'm new here, so hihi all you coding monkeys! ^_^ I am Laura, nice to mee you, and am thrilled to see that people are continuing the development of my favourite OS.... When I first heard of BeOS, I spent five days, (count them :o ) downloading PE 5 over a dial-up modem, barely ticking above 14.4K :?

why is the mediakit team lagging behind?

noob with BeOS curious about compatibility.

Forum thread started by LinuxPoser on Wed, 2005-06-15 01:56

hey all I've recently become interested in BeOS, and I was wondering about some of its compatibility. Soon i will be aquiring 2 macintosh g3 laptops for an incredible cheap amount and i was planning to put linux on one, and BeOS on the other. I was wondering if there are any distros of BeOS compatiable with macintosh's g3 ibook. Thanks

Booting Haiku Help

Forum thread started by pagefault on Sun, 2005-06-12 20:53

I can't seem to boot haiku. I downloaded the latest source code as of today and complied it using the folowing commands;
./configure
makehdimage /test3

then I ran bootman and added that partition to the boot loader. When I try to boot off that partition I get the Haiku logo, but then it just sits there with no HD activity. I have trided all the spacebar options to no avail. Did I miss something? My system specs are as follows;

Haiku on next generation gaming consoles?

Forum thread started by saint_lazare on Thu, 2005-06-09 08:54

As you maybe have noticed, Apple announced the switch from IBM POWER to Intel x86/x86-64. So the PPC platform is probably going to disappear from the consumer market. But IBM will stay with the PPC platform on the next generation consoles (PlayStation3, XBox360, Nintendo Revolution). Are there any plans for supporting these platform with the Haiku? Does that make any sense? Or will PPC support disappear from Haiku too?

It's not about installing an OS on a console (If I wanted that I know that I could install Linux). So the main question would be: Could the next generation consoles be a good platform for the Haiku or any other (multimedia) OS?

Virtual PC - hardware timing

Forum thread started by hagar on Tue, 2005-06-07 09:58

Hi,

I'm working on the JNode project (http://www.jnode.org) and we have a problem running in Virtual PC. I have looked for at way to solve our problem and after a long search I found this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824982 and this main reason to this topic. The problem we have sound very much like the one you had, interrupt/hardware timing, and I would be very glad if you could give a hint. I also found this page http://blogs.msdn.com/Virtual_PC_Guy/archive/2004/12/29/343863.aspx , but it only says you/BeOS made it work and not how.

Graphical environment

Forum thread started by markomanka on Thu, 2005-06-02 07:57

I was wondering if it is possible to change graphic environment on Haiku (I’m sorry, I’m a newbie and maybe this is a fool question).
Anyway... if this is possible, I’d like to ask a question:
