I ask only one thing

…that when Haiku is complete, up to it’s first ‘release’, it can be downloaded as an ISO, with an installer.

That’s all I’d ask! No messing around with bootloader config files, text-based partitioning and the like.

Simplicity is how you get end-users into operating systems.

‘Untar this and untgz that’ is how you scare them away, never to return…!

If its going to be BeOS, its going to have a good installer, thats fully graphicallyl

This isn’t Linux…

Thats why i hate linux, even though i manage those things pretty well.

I like the Power within the Simplicity . and thats what BeOS is for…
:wink:

My goat would smile if the installer had an option to just install/update Bootman. I mess around with my system and often have to use a BeOS disc, kill the install script, start Tracker and launch Bootman…

h_ank, try launching a Terminal window (ctrl-alt-shift T, I think) and typing ‘bootman’. (Might be a smidge faster.) Then just exit the installer when you’re done.

Yeh I install bootman more often than I install beos… I even install bootman on computers without beos.
