Here are my problems:
I can’t download Firefox (~12 MB) because when it gets to about 25-30% the system completely freezes up and I have to switch off the power.
I tried to install Opera (~2 MB) which downloaded ok but then once ‘installed’ there’s only a ‘saved’ file and a ‘log’ file in the install directory - there’s no browser to open (won’t open from terminal either).
I tried to install BeAIM but once logged in it shows my two buddy groups but nobody signed in. Is this version of AIM so old that I would need to import my buddy list or should it be able to load that information from the AIM server?
I tried to download Abiword, same story as firefox.
I don’t mean to be a downer here but I can’t get any software to work in Haiku which makes usage of the operating system a little unattractive (for the record i did get Links to work, but who wants to browse the internet in a text-browser in 2008 soon to be 2009?)
any ideas?
I’m running Haiku in Virtualbox. I initially used the ~250 MB vmware image and then created another virtual disk that was 1 GB and copied everything over - by following the guide in the end user docs
