Weeel, first of all, beOs doesnt support my graphix card (S3Trio 32/64 2mb) so it has that lame grey colour :P Anyway to fix that? Second, i can live with grey, but id atleast like to get my dsl con up, i use Enternet 300 in Winblows 2k but is there a similar program for beOs? And third, even if i get the program, i couldnt get it to connect me, cause i cant type in my login/password...thats right, keyboard not working under beOs either :P This blows...id like to get beOs to work thoe, im so sick of winblows already -.- Can get any linux distros either cause me comp has a 4 gb hd and they simply wont fit :-/

I can help with the first part of your question, regarding the graphics card: If you haven't already, check for BeOS drivers for your card at BeDrivers or FrizBe. If not available, then download and install the small app, 'Vesa Accepted' from BeBits or BeZip. This will automatically force BeOS to start in vesa mode and you will have at least basic color support. While at BeDrivers and Frizbe, check for drivers for your network card too. Your keyboard won't work under BeOS? That's odd... Just a plain ordinary PS/2 keyboard? I can't believe Linux won't fit on 4GB. You don't have to install every single app in the distro... I generally give Linux 3-5 GB per distro and have plenty of room left over. Best Luck, Bob

What is enternet 300?

Enternet is a commercial PPoE application. If thats the way you need to authenticate to your DSL you can forget about it under BeOS, if its a non-standard implementation. There is a client available here http://www.bebits.com/app/1707/ If you install a minimal version of Linux, just the basics and KDE, you can get by with about 1.5 gigs. Why not just pick up a cheap used hard drive for a few bucks, or isn't that an option? I take it you are in New Zealand?
