Guest birkarl Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Hi, great to see a fellow (to be) BeOS-user. Beos4Linux (as I assume you have) is basically selfcontained inside Linux and it isn't actually harder than http://rtfm.dyndns.info/tips/2000/04/30/27.shtml reports. Alas, I truly recommend using the latest version of the 'BeOS MAX Edition' (currently v2) and use it standalone. It's over at http://www.bebits.com/app/3089 and includes more software and usable drivers for newer hardware. If you like what you see, then take a look at http://www.openbeos.org/ for what could be the next thing. I still use BeOS a few hours per week; mainly to get the kick out of the speed and usability of the OS. It is damn quick and responsive when you're used to Windows and XFree86. Could be a pleasant acquintance of yours, I'm sure. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 I'm trying that BeOS Max thing. But I don't like booting from floppy disks... I'm gonna look at getting it into my bootloader, if that's possible. I used to love BeOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest birkarl Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Lilo is quite capable of booting BeOS (the standalone one, at least, don't really know about that old beos4linux). Just point at the partition like this in /etc/lilo.conf other=/dev/hda2 label=BeOS table=/dev/hda and re-run 'lilo' as root. Obviously you should substitute your partition though (here /dev/hda2) and what drivetable it is (hdb if on second disk and so on). Grub? I never used grub, so I don't know.
