USB repartitioning

Forum thread started by gaukler on Sat, 2010-01-23 04:42

I've just made a Haiku install/boot USB using flashnul, on a 4GB stick. Is there any way to recover the wasted space, using either Haiku or WinXP tools?

Can't sign in to google accounts under haiku

Forum thread started by sevcsik on Thu, 2010-01-21 23:13

Hi folks,

I ran into a very interesting problem today. I can't sign in into my google account (i tried from google maps, gmail and google.com) neither from bezilla or arora. After entering login data, it waits for google.com until timeout. I don't have this problem on linux. I tried to delete config directories, but nothing changed.

update: actually some other functions of google doesn't work either, like following links from images.google.com results.

[SOLVED] Problem compiling RTL81xx ethernet driver

Forum thread started by sevcsik on Tue, 2010-01-19 21:06

Hi!

I'm trying to compile the RTL81xx driver, as I installed Haiku yesterday (18th January nightly build) on my Dell Mini 10v, and I ran into this bug.
I want to compile only the driver and its dependencies, since it would take a while to compile haiku on a 1.6GHz Atom :)

whole output at pastebin.

I'm trying to build build it on my Haiku install. It's a bit strange that it tries to rename librdef.a, an then deletes it, but I'm not familiar with jam :)

thanks for the help.

"how to" links for noobs

Forum thread started by ElMeRfUdD on Mon, 2010-01-18 05:06

Major noob here, I can't believe I actually got this installed, dual boot with xp using haiku's boot manager. I tried to install Linux a few years ago and failed miserably.
Now, to use it, I need some haiku for dummies links with REAL specific instructions for basic stuff like how to install programs(Tube Positive and VLC player). Are there instructions for simple things built into the OS somewhere?
Couple more questions: Would I be better off with an older version?(is alpha more for testing/developers?)
What are the pros and cons/compatibility of other file systems, ext3,ext4 vs Be? I'm thinking of triple boot with Linux.
