It has taken Axel Dorfler five days to get Haiku to boot from CD. "I successfully booted Haiku from CD-ROM from several machines today. It took a bit longer than I thought, as no emulator that I have access to seems to support multi-session CDs, and not every BIOS I have works by the book. Anyway, you could build you own bootable CD image with the "makehaikufloppy" script that's now in our top-level directory."

With Zeta 1.1 running on an dual AMD Opteron, booting from a USB Flash drive and with Firefox happily running on top of it, I think BeOS, in this reincarnation has actually caught up with Windows sans Java, and in desktop usage, overtaken Linux a long ago.
And now, news of Haiku progressing in broad leaps, the aliveness of BeOS, in his (her?) new, dualhood of open and closed source (Haiku and Zeta) is easily confirmed.
Parts of Haiku will probably be incorporated into Zeta, and that's a very good thing, both for Zeta (obvious) and for Haiku (better Zeta => more Haiku mindshare). This will be an excellent symbiosis. Maybe it is already.
Frankly, two years ago I didn't think we'd be this well off, in the BeOS community. Things are looking up!!

Well he has now figured out why the logs are different.
So currently he is making Haiku's logs compatable.

Yeah, it's the same person. He's zooming along! I can understand the Haiku project's reticence to make CDs - after all, every man jack and his wife would burn and try it, find out that there's still a lot to do, and then be disappointed.
I just hope some developer in a random corner of the net makes a CD image, so I can try it on my real machines :-)

Is Axel the same guy they hired as the 1 full time employee?
Yup, that's the man! He employs himself and gives himself daily assignments, which he mercilessly executes (it took him one day for this first one). And, like a true hacker, he brings work home occassionaly, although "he does not work during weekends" - suuure, Axel 
The guy is one serious coding machine! Should clone people like him!

Sure PippoPeloDJ will make bootable images of Haiku when the correct snapshots will be released.

Well, lets just donate what we can and let haiku-os.org figure out how to spend it best. Axel is a great developer, but lets not forget that there are other extremely talented developers on the project, so maybe it would make more sense to hire one of them full-time for a month or two.

If anyone wants to help us bring TeamHaiku up the "Seventeen or Bust" ladder, that would be great
