Hello linuxers,
BeOS 5 PE Max Edition is a distribution made using the free version of BeOS 5 (called Personal Edition) with a number of drivers, add-ons, and software. It includes the new development tools from the OpenBeOS team Web site, but you will also be able to select the old tools. It only contains freeware and shareware demos. All the code it contains is legal under the MIT, GPL, or LGPL licenses. And yes its Athlon XP patched.

1) All packages are going to be in zipped format to avoid the long time it takes to copy them on your computer. After that, the installation will unpack them. This change will speed up the setup. (This has allready been done.Installation improved from 35 minutes to 12 minutes!!! With unpacking). 2) There will be alternative programs for bone setup, but not bone itself. Also it will include instructions on how to use Max with bone. 3) There will be a Pentium 4 boot disk included. 4) Also while booting Max u can select from 2 kernels, the Athlon Xp or the Pentium 4 kernel by pressing spacebar.
