I just received an email from Bernd Korz informing me that the Zeta 1.21 live CD has been released for everybody to download. Korz says the first results from testers were very positive. The download page says: "Magnussoft ZETA 1.21 - An Operating System that provides a lot of new advantages combined with high performance besides general tools for your daily work."

Yeah and this explains also previous comment why it usually doesn't work in vmware or parallels

I have gotten it running in VMware just fine. Trick is to burn a physical CD, put it in the physical CD/DVD drive, and use CDROM RAW mode to access/boot to it in VMWare.

Also have to hit spacebar and choose the "failsafe" VESA graphics as VMware's video chipset is not supported and looks HORRIBLE in Zeta.

Zeta 1.21 also has a vlance driver now to support the VMWare native network chipset.

I have a .vmx file laying around somewhere that I used recently...

RE: using ISO9660 - unfortunately BeOS/Zeta/Haiku currently require BFS to boot because the attributes are required for some purposes (I don't know the details really)
