After a successful Haiku install ..

Forum thread started by tito on Fri, 2007-11-23 13:39

As described in my post at http://haiku-os.org/documents/dev/installing_haiku_to_a_partition_from_l..., I installed Haiku on my SATA HD (it boots only in RAID mode). It runs fine, but, as I expected, it does not see my DVD drive and my Ethernet card, since their drivers are not in the supported list. Unfortunately, it does not see my other partitions either (I have fat32, ntfs, ext2 and ext3 partitions). Is there any tools or workaround out there to open a window for Haiku?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Haiku on VMware 256mb ram

Forum thread started by chemist on Wed, 2007-11-21 12:47

I want to install Haiku on VMware WS 6.0 on old PC - celeron 800, 256mb ram. Now it has only 128mb ram and I wand to bye +128mb. I need at least 128mb for my host OS so I'll have only 128 mb for Haiku. I wonder is it possible to run Haiku on VMware on such PC? Is there any sense to bye 128mb more ram? I'm going to use terminal, vim, and compile small projects.

sed scripting question

Forum thread started by humdinger on Thu, 2007-11-15 19:11

Hello there!

I have a textfile where I need to find some string and print out the whole paragraph that contains that string. (ETA: the paragraphs are seperated by an emtpy line.)

Since sed is black magic, I was fortunate to find a sed command that is supposed to do exactly what I want:

cat MyTextFile.txt | sed -e '/./{H;$!d;}' -e 'x;/MySearchString/!d;'

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Does anyone see what's wrong?

I also found that grep -p would do exactly what I want, but Haiku's grep doesn't know about that option... What's up with that?

If it helps, I can provide the whole script I'm trying to get to work.

Thanks guys!

Exporting data from VMWARE

Forum thread started by greg2 on Thu, 2007-11-15 08:19

Hi,

i have downloded a vmware image of Haiku on this web site:
http://www.haikuware.com/view-details/development/app-installation/74-we...

Is it possible with it to export my saved data outside of vmware (example: a text file, an image). Using a USB key, a network, a CR-RW, ...

And how ?

(I am a very beginner in haiku, i don't know what can do with this vmware version, and how)

Thanks.

CHAP support for dialup.

Forum thread started by cf13 on Sat, 2007-11-10 19:53

Hi!

I've tried haiku via wmware, but it didn't work really fine, so I was thinking of trying to install via linux.

But I would like to know if haiku has chap support for ppp connection. Beos p.e. hasn't, I don't know if beosmax or zeta has it. Do you know?

Any solution?

Thanks.

BeOS / Haiku on an SGI machine?

Forum thread started by phatpenguin on Fri, 2007-10-19 19:02

I have an offer from a friend of a choice of Indy or O2 Octane Sgi machine with monitor and was wandering if anyone knew if it was possible to install BeOS or Haiku on it?

I also have my eye on a video outboard going for less than $100 on ebay which would be awsome if I could get it working under Be as I always wanted to do video in BeOS!

Failing that, if someone has a BeBox they want to sell to me?
