Going to install BeOS... recommendations?

Post by Wolfram »

Hi all,

I´m going to install BeOs on my BP6 next week. Right now I have

1GB FAT32 98SE
12 GB FAT32 Win2K
20 GB FAT32 Data
7 GB ext3 Red Hat Linux

all on one disk. Can I just cut off a part of the the 20GB FAT32 with partition magic and install BeOS in there? Is there something like the 1024 cyl. boundary?

I´ve had that all-in-one-file BeOS before, but I read some thing don´t work well with that type of installation (and it´s limited to 512 MB, right?)

Any recommendations on the release? Standard 5.03?

I know bebits, but it would be nice to get some advice from experience ;)

I really liked that snappy feel of BeOS and the easy-to-use music software. Though I´m afraid it can´t replace my standard Windows 2000 in all aspects.

Best regards,

Wolfram

if you want to get really bold and daring search around a bit for a patched install that includes BONE (which is the new network stack that never got fully made), i needed it for my wireless network card, is tricky to do yourself but well good luck and let us know how it goes
