I am very excited about trying the BeOS. I am going to order the CD, but I want to know what I can do now to get ready for it. What can I do now so that I can install the BeOS when it gets here?

First, we recommend you back up all your data. This is something that can be time consuming, but we especially recommend it if you plan to install onto a Mac OS hard drive on a second hard drive partition.

Second, be sure you have the right hardware. You can check our web site to see what Power Mac and Power Mac clones are currently supported.

Third, get a second hard drive, or set up a second hard disk partition on your existing hard drive (130 megs is the minimum size).
