Nice to see "little " operating systems growing next to big ones like Windows and Linux… Mon, 05 Mar 2007 17:14:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (SK8T) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?218757 http://www.osnews.com/thread?218757 you can try it today, download the vmware image from sourceforge an then download the free vmware player from the vmware website Mon, 05 Mar 2007 20:11:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (axel) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?218767 http://www.osnews.com/thread?218767 I don't like vmplayer - is there a virtualbox image for this?

I havn't had a chance to try it on VirtualBox for Linux & capture the log to report it as a bug to the VirtualBox developers.

It may not be quite stable yet.

Great job. I will try to install it to the hard drive someday (it was unsuccessful with previous versions on my main computer).

Go to Preferences, Network.

For Host: type "default" (without the quotes)
For Domain: "domain" (same here, no quotes)

Click the MODIFY button, right next to (eth0(Enabled))

And enable in the new MENU the DHCP Tue, 06 Mar 2007 01:49:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (malkia) Comments http://www.osnews.com/thread?218903 http://www.osnews.com/thread?218903 If only it would run on real hardware - at least modern hardware. I'm hoping it starts getting a little more stable.

Before this version I did run it on real hardware and as soon as we figure out this ATA(PI) driver bug I will again! Most Syllable developers use their native hardware and not some virtual machine!

It runs on modern hardware. I have it running on my Athlon 64 X2 4200+ desktop with a Radeon X1600. The SMP mode isn't compatible with my machine and I'm stuck using the VESA video driver until someone updates the open source Radeon driver to support the X16K, but it works.

It doesn't work on all machines and SATA is still a problem on some motherboards, but it will definately run on modern hardware.

That's the only way these sorts of bugs will get solved.

Seems to work ok ... needs more apps though.

but I got a PowerPC mac, and vmware does not run on it.

But you're right. There are serveral methods to virtualize it. But when I will try it, I want to try it as full installation, to see if my hardware works and so on… Wed, 07 Mar 2007 21:16:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (SK8T) Comments
