Comment:
I am having trouble installing BeOS Pro 5.0.3 on my computer. I had to make the floppy disk because I have XP installed, and to use the included partition software. I would create the the partition, reboot the computer, the opening splash screen would come up and the the computer would re-start. After about five or six times of that I give up.

I been doing some research and found out that BE has trouble with computers with more than 1GB of ram. Is there any work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


DOS is the best
