User Support Forum

So quite a long time ago, I posted a thread (think it's on third page now) about how I couldn't get the WiFi drivers working. You guys said it was because you didn't have support for AR5B97. And now, you guys said you do have support for it, so I reinstalled Haiku on an empty partition and decided to try it.

When I ran the shell file, "install-wifi-firmwares.sh," it gave me a ton of errors. Like saying things were corrupted, 404 Not Found errors, etc.

I copied a couple of the things out and put them in a text file, I'm trying to get it to post but it keeps saying "your submission contains invalid characters and will not be accepted."

Here's a Dropbox link: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10434417/asdf.txt

Yeah, so basically it didn't work and I don't know why. I can't use Haiku if I cannot use an operating system if I cannot get WiFi, that's like a requirement for me.

It's obvious it's missing some of the files it needs, but I don't know exactly what to download and where to put them. If that's enough to get it working.

I made some room on a Hackintosh drive (GPT drive) for 2 FAT32 partitions (as placeholders). I booted up the latest Haiku Nightly off of a USB pen drive. I went to the GPT drive (with DriveSetup) and can see the 2 FAT partitions. I tried selecting either one and could not reformat either one with a BFS file system. DriveSetup said both were read-only.

Is it not possible to make them writable so they can be reformatted? I tried to bring up GPARTED off of a CD but could not find any way to mark them as writable. In Windows 7, same thing.

Anyone run into this problem before?

I've tried to install latex by following the instructions here: http://pulkomandy.lexinfo.fr/~texlive/

I installed texlive to /boot/home/TexLive

Then downloaded the binaries and extracted to

/boot/home/TexLive/bin

(the bin directory didn't exist, I had to create it... maybe it's the wrong place?)

I then tried adding the path to /boot/home/config/boot/UserSetupEnvironment file, but this did nothing. So I manually exported path.

Then run "latex small2e" and I get the following:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
 
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
mktexfmt: No such file or directory
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!

I also tried exporting TLROOT as the install directory, with the same results.

What am I doing wrong?
