I've been banging my head against a wall trying to log in for the past half hour, anyway, how are you guys doing? (yes it's my first time properly using IRC)

doing fine here Yoke, and welcome in the channel :)
<phschafft>
don't crack your skull. it's not worth the cleanup later.
<Yoke>
trust me already done that trying to get QEMU working
<Begasus>
have fun there, if you don't have a script at hand it's a mess
<phschafft>
hm.
<phschafft>
very strange. to me it always worked very nicely.
<Begasus>
no talking with a cookie in your mouth :P
<phschafft>
Yoke: ah, so you try to run something else on Haiku?
<Yoke>
Wanna try and run BeOS to get a pseudo "classic mode"
<Yoke>
evem trying to split the is goes over my head to be honest, I am not that familiar with tools like that
<Yoke>
*ISO
<phschafft>
split the iso?
* phschafft
feels like he is missing something.
<Begasus>
think I still got some BeOS VM somewhere ...
* phschafft
tries with another cookie.
<Begasus>
maybe the floppy image?
<Begasus>
lol

stats on beta recipes/patches for beta from gear24: Writing objects: 100% (216/216), 164.00 KiB | 7.13 MiB/s, done.
<Yoke>
Trying to use QEMU or even AQEMU from the depot just makes me realise how easy Virtual box is to use...
<Begasus>
running VMware here, works better on Windows
<Begasus>
at least it does for me :)
<Begasus>
just feels like the vm doesn't use full potential from the cpu's
<Begasus>
KDEPim will be for another branch ....

I get what you mean about VMs not using the most of what hardware you have

trying to set up a VM on this sytem probably wouldn't be the the best of ideas, i mean I'm working with a 3rd gen i5 and the intergrated graphics : /

may I ask what 'it' is?

IRC client, not being deliberately vauge
<phschafft>
hm.
<Yoke>
Decided to go with KVIrc, for some reason I had to go through the setup wizzard twice? just windows being windows
<phschafft>
I hear everything is more complicated on windows.

it can be, you're not wrong about that, anything more complex than draging and droping files is pain
<Yoke>
flippin Linux is esier to be honest, and you're in the teminal half the time for that

once I worked one of those jobs where the company policy is to give Linux engineers a Windows PC, my workaround to get things done was to run VirtualBox with Linux in it
<phschafft>
yes that is always a bit strange.
<phschafft>
I must say I was always lucky in that regard. or made sure I was lucky.
<waddlesplash>
at this point all my computers dualboot Windows and Haiku
<waddlesplash>
I don't have any bare metal Linux installs anymore, far too annoying
<waddlesplash>
WSL1 has all I need
<Yoke>
Wish i could commit to a dulboot of Haiku and windows, I just can't risk accidentily wiping the data on this system :/
<dovsienko>
(I also worked a few jobs where nobody cared which OS you booted today so long as things got done)
<Yoke>
mind having a seperate box just for Haiku is kinda neat, I don't have to worry about data integrity
<Hanicef[m]>
i actually have a separate haiku machine, running on 10 year old hardware, just as a precaution in case haiku breaks partitions or anything else
<Hanicef[m]>
(feel free to call me paranoid)
<Yoke>
Not gonna point fingers, I've got an ald Dell Vostro with Haiku on it, runs pretty well concidering it's a 3rd gen i5 and only has 4gb ram
<Yoke>
saying thatn the minimum is 400MB ram give or take
tuaris has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
<Yoke>
That gives me an idea, I've got a laptop from round about 2002, If I get a 512mb dimm i could probabbly install haiku on that, assuming it would work with an Athlon XP-m
<dovsienko>
maybe add $20 and get one with at least 1GB RAM, that would make a lot of difference
<dovsienko>
also some old AMD CPUs have a tendency to reset the Haiku PC from time to time, it could be one of those
<dovsienko>
also 2002 was before SATA, so it would be difficult to find a working HDD for that, let alone upgrading to an SSD
<Yoke>
The drive that's in there works perfectly, and yes it is IDE unfortunately

I've seen some M.Sata to IDE adapters, I'm not entirely sure they would work but I think it would be worth a try
