Not all apps work correctly, take it with a grain of salt. There's plenty of free space, if you're not a developer, then delete the developer folder, it takes up some decent space. Don't like the apps? Delete them and add your own! Need more space? Duplicate the disk.  *there's also an issue with disk syncing, it won't remember settings or files, or they'll be corrupt. Can't help that.., |

I normally use Qemu... Is there an advantage to use VM-Ware? If so what is it? |

Tried VMWare and I am very surprised about its speed... It is a lot faster then Qemu. Thank Karl for your work. I think this helps alot to get more attention to HAIKU. It would be fine if the User get informations about some changes made in a new HAIKU built... at least the important ones... I for myself cannot find changes easily by myself, since I don't know where to look for them. |

I'm hoping that once Haiku becomes more stable so there will be more "common" language translations of the changes and updates. I can look at the svn but don't understand half of it. |

I don't know if it is possible but I think I may have spotted some pointers about how to make it work. This article, written in Hungarian, seems to explain how to do it. http://haiku.extra.hu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=61&Itemid=2 Anyway, having tried the Aug20th version, I prefer all apps are tested and the not working ones are disabled or removerd and listed with what is not working for instance. Keep up the good work, Regards. |

Any reason to exclude Firefox from these builds? It runs well on Haiku doesn't it? Thunderbird might be a good choice too. |

hmm, I can't seem to get it to work fully... and I can't read Hungarian: http://haiku.extra.hu/index.ph...&Itemid=2 ... If someone could provide some tips, I'll add it to the next update on the 27th. Also, I can't seem to get networking to work with these newest builds, despite defining the network adapter as e1000. Anyone else have this problem? |

I've read that the vlance driver (Haiku's Vmware networking driver) has been disabled in the disk images because of speed, responsiveness and reliability issues. As Manette.be said, you can add: ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000" In your Vmware configuration file, to get network support. |

Hey karlvd, could you please decrease image size to 1Gb or smth like that, i think it's enough for playing, but will speedup downloading and unarchiving, this is the only reason why i don't download it every week, but prefer haikuhost.com/housestrain. |

Hey Diver Decreasing the size of the drive won't do anything, because it's an expanding image, only the actual files contained within the image actually take up space... Maybe I could make a Haiku mini-pack.... |

One thing I've noticed is that Yab's Splash screen flickers past without properly being displayed. If you move the Yab directory to "/boot/home" and rename it to "yab-1.0" the splash screen shows. Of course after this your menu link is broken but that's a quick fix. I've tried changing the directories "Options" under the view menu to /boot/apps/develop/Yab but it doesn't help. Must be stored in a config file somewhere, any ideas? |

I posted to the IRC chan and on the Haiku forums. No one seems to have been able to get it to work. I submitted a bug, 1449, to http://dev.haiku-os.org/. It was suggested that it may be a bug in Haiku (but it may not). |

I installed rar unrar on my linux Mandriva Spring 2007.1 Powerpack. I downloaded and tried to unpack Weekly Super Pack 22288 but it asks for an archive password. Is it right for it to want this. If so what is it. I cannot see anything in haikuware about it needing a password. I am installing it in my /home/user directory so it is not as if it is on the root partition. |

In my last comment I should have also mentioned that when I typed the root password just to see if that would work, it unpacked about 2/3 of the apps.vmdk size. When I have just canceled and not typed any password it only unpacks a few megabits. The folder in my username that I unpack to has not accidentally or some how obtained root permissions. I am now trying the Windows version of vmware player. It was an older 1 version. When I unpacked apps.rar into a folder in My Documents, put haiku.vmx into same, started vmware player it said it could not locate haiku.vmdk. I renamed apps.vmdk to haiku.vmdk then it said the disk image version was different from the player version needed. Either to get a disc image to suit my player version or get a player version to suit my disk image. Now I am downloading the latest vmware player. |

I got Weekly Super Pack (Sept24th-Rev2228 to work in vmware 2 version for Windows. There is one big problem that immediately hit me in fullscreen mode, after it booted: there are two mouse pointers. One of them is an arrow shape the other a hand shape. At a certain distance from the top of the screen the second arrow shaped appears about the vmware status bar. After that the hand pointer cannot move any further up. It is as if the Windows and Haiku mouse pointers are running at the same time. The way to get aroun this is to only run in windowed mode. It would be great if Firefox browser could work. Opera keeps crashing at many web sites including haikuware.com.. I tried to write this from opera but it rashed when trying to click on the icon for Weekly Super Pack (Sept24th-Rev2228 . |

Hi Cebif, There's definitely no password on the archive. I can't reproduce the problems you've described with the mouse, One pointer is simply your host's mouse, the other is the guest's mouse... I would also like to see Firefox work in Haiku, unfortunately Haiku just isn't ready for it. You might want to track and submit the bugs that Haiku (or Firefox) produce, in order to speed up and help Firefox come to Haiku. |

Hi karlvd, I seemed to have got around the mouse pointer problem. I copied apps.vmdk from my Windows partition to my Linux /home/username partition and started it up with the Linux vmware player. There is no mouse pointer problem in fullscreen mode when it is running in Linux. Did you try and reproduce it in Windows? |

Karl, you should really put an updated gcc in the image. The one included is so old and buggy that is almost unusable. Here http://www.bebits.com/app/4011 is the newest gcc 2.95.3 you can find around. |

Hello! I can speek Hungarian language, and i translate this : http://haiku.extra.hu/index.ph...1&Itemid=2 The dirty translate: -you need an new firefox build (net server!) -extract the archive somewhere, then run it in BeOS. The firefox make an new clean profile in /boot/home/config/settings/Mozilla -copy the firefox and the profile to the Haiku disk -In Haiku run thise commands in the terminal: export LIBRARY_PATH=%A/.:%A/components:$LIBRARY_PATH export ADDON_PATH=%A/.:%A/components:$ADDON_PATH -Run the firefox. Maybe it will crash in the first run, but if you run again, it will working. The mouse is not working in Haiku yet. You can use the ALT d key to jump in the url box. I hope this help to You, and You can understand me... Bye: miqlas |

Well for the last while I've been using an older version of the Super Pack so I decided to download the new version today and well what a surprise. Needless to say I'm impressed how much smoother things work in VMware. Now I wasn't able to get it working properly in VMware Server (had version 1.0.3 and have been having mouse problems for quite sometime). I downloaded VMware player and boom it was working like a charm. I know there is a new version of Server out so maybe my problems would be fixed with that too. Anyway just felt like commenting |

I can bring up the configuration under Haiku, but don't understand how it works... Maybe if you could provide default images and settings as per your OS X Leopard dock like screenshot, I could test it better. How about adding test and vmware tools? I'll try this in the next edition. |

I've tried Vmware tools under Vmware Fusion, and it seems to mess up the mouse input in the guest operating system, so I'll skip adding this. |

Hi Karl, Is there any chance you could use bittorrent to distribute the weekly super pak. I regularly experience a hang of my download and I guess that since this is almost always the "most popular" It must hit your web sites bandwidth pretty hard. Bittorrent would ease the load on your server and give us more reliable downloads. I'm also pretty sure that most of you visitors should have bittorrent clients installed. How about it? Alan |

Hi Alan, I haven't experienced any problems, or heard of any problems with hanging while downloading this file... The site doesn't use much bandwidth (~10% of the allotted bandwidth). With respect to bittorent being more reliable, I'm not sure about that...There always has to be someone seeding... In any case, people make regular torrents out of the superpack anyways... For Example: http://www.google.ca/search?hl...arch&meta= I'd be interested to know if anyone else has problems... It wouldn't seem so, because the 'most popular' file counter only counts completed downloads. |
