BeOS Playing

Preparing hacking OpenBeOS takes some time. The cvs sources takes 110 MB, on dial-up it is not funny even with -z3 option. Anyway i started and my preparation consist of:

1. I found BeOS 5.0 Pro CD with both PowerPC and Intel install sessions

2. I read some docs Haiku Getting Started and Haiku Disk Boot before starting

3. I downloaded following software:

• gcc-2.95.3-beos-041202.zip toolchain from BeBits
• perforce jam and p4 binaries for BeOS it can be taken from upper docs.
• cvs for BeOS getted also there.
• also i downloaded from BeBits some applications.

I didn't yet configure modem under BeOS so it takes time too. It also needs to set up IDE Replacement driver from BeBits and new network update to kernel from version 5.1.
