I have the Professional CD. (Got it along with a fat "BeOS Bible" last year at Best Buy on sale.) The downloads listed in the above link install either within Linux or Windows, or in their own partition. Installing it in its own partition is the way to go. Early last year I managed to screw up my eDesk 2.4 installation so it would not boot up. I installed BeOS and was able to mount my /home/user, from where I copied my files into BeOS. I then copied these files into Windows on the same machine. (BeOS can read Linux partitions, but not write to them). I then reinstalled eDesk 2.4, then copied my files from Windows. There are other ways of doing this sort of rescue, but using BeOS was fast and easy for me.

However, it can turn an old DOS box with a small HD into a useful internet box. There is a BeOS version of an early Opera available as well as an excellent, full featured e-mail app called Mail-It. -- Leon A.
