#6106: Suggested improvements for Installer (might affect other parts) ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: xeon3d | Owner: korli Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Applications/Installer | Version: R1/alpha2 Keywords: Installer slow | Platform: All Blockedby: | Patch: 0 Blocking: | ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment(by axeld): Alpha 2 actually includes a device level cache for CDs - this makes booting as well as installing Haiku from CD really fast on the machine I tested it with. I haven't compared it to BeOS, but I don't remember it being particularly fast, even though it contained much less software than Haiku does. With today's hardware, though, it's no wonder that Haiku can be built faster than installed from CD: CDs are slow, and I can build a complete Haiku image in less than 4 minutes. Since BeOS cannot not run on your hardware, I wonder if you used a virtual machine to install it? In any case, Haiku should install pretty fast since alpha 2. If it doesn't for you (you actually do not give any clue how long it takes for you), there is probably something wrong. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6106#comment:1> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
