+1 # Beos Max on a 200Mhz computer — BrunoBratwurst 2008-03-15 08:57

Today I installed BeOs Max on my old 200Mhz computer.
A mini max basic system anounced by vasper Vassilis Perantzakis would be very appericated.

This distro, BeOS 5 PE Max Edition is Based on BeOS 5 PE with a number of drivers, add-ons, Athlon XP Patch , P4 Boot img , software, is far too slow to run at all on a 200Mhz computer.

Hmm, plain BeOS should be able to run on that -> officially it needs 133MHz or higher.
Here's what it says on the box of a BeOS 5 Pro Edition (to whom it may concern):

"BeOS Capable Systems:
Intel Celeron, Pentium (133 Mhz or higher recommended), MMX, Pro, II, II Xeon, III, III Xeon; AMD Athlon, K6, K6-2, K6-III, Cyrix 688MX, 688GXm (but not the M1); IDT WinChip C6, WinChip 2; Rise mP6."

It also needs at least 32 megabytes of RAM.
BTW, have you tried Haiku on it? Here the "smallest" hardware has 366 Mhz and handles Haiku well.

0 # Too buggy :\ — telstar 2010-03-20 20:11

I like Max, I really do. It's just horribly buggy. I eventually sourced a Pro disc to install from and now my PC boots BeOS without a problem. Some day people just won't use Max because it's loaded with so much stuff that most people don't ever use... I kind of like a "virgin" install, you know? Nice clean directories with nothing in them, like a freshly made bed... there's not much of this with Max (folders all over the place, the occasional broken link, folders within folders containing obscure screenshots and images...) but it is still useful in some ways.

I find that Max can be an effective doormat for the Pro disc if you ever find one; install Max on a small partition, boot up on that partition, insert Pro disc and mount, open Installer app, install Pro on a different partition, set it as the active partition and you're away... Ah, what can I say; I never had much luck with the whole PartitionMagic thing. Also makes a great Be hardware test :)
