BeOS went into liquidation because of lack of funding so the only thing I have a chance of getting is the Peronal Edition but I want a fully working installation img because I pesonally believe that used to be a lovely OS.

I've sometimes seen it for sale out in uh.. PC World in Blanchardstown. You might try asking them if they can order you in a new boxed copy. I doubt it'll work, after everything that's happened at Be, but it's worth a try.

Nah I have the pesonal edition but its too limited. I will try PC World anyway. And I will try another long google search for an iso. Thanx anyway.

Theres some tweaks out there to turn the Personal into a more pro version. Maybe those tweaks will do for now.

sinus

where did ya hear about the tweaks.......

what the big advantage to having the pro??

schro, in terms of Personal Edition inferiority to the pro edition, the main thing i wanted to get past was the fact that you can't really *install* the personal edition, only run it, but there's a very very easy way around it, to install it on a partition of its own. Ask me on irc or something and i'll dig up a url about it. There's basically a program on the system you can run, System Installer or something, and you just set up your partition table, run sys installer, and you can install your system on a partition. neato.

Didn't know they went into liquidation.. Very sad.

talk about digging up old posts....

I have 5.04 and 5.1 beta D (never released) on CD. I use 5.1 (AKA Dano) as my main OS, no problewms... though you still need PersonalEdition installed first to install 5.1
