Hi
I'd like to install BeOS 5.1 Dano. The CD i've downloaded is not bootable and i found no bootdisk image. does any one now how to install dano?
i tried to boot with beos 5.0 pro cd and replace the cd for installation. doesn't work. it also doesn't work to boot the cd with a beos 5.0 pro boot disk.

Silly question maybe, but have you jiggered your BIOS so that it boots from the CD before the hard drive?

If you use the mount command in BeOS R5 that CD ought to mount. Then use the "Terminal" and navigate to the mounted CD and find makebootfloppy. You will have to use the exact path in the command line. Otherwise if you just use makebootfloppy -cd it will default to the R5 makebootfloppy script. (that script also has executable permissions so you can either look at with a text viewer or run it from a command line)
Summary: Hi - I've just installed BeOs 5 PE on a Compaq Deskpro EP - Win 98, Celeron 333, 4 Gig HD, 64MB RAM, Matrox G100 Video. BeOs loads without problem from Win 98 but I can't get it to reboot without hitt...
