Ok, i understand, developers don't need it, but i think it would be
usefull for guys like me, who want to do some tests and send feedback.

I found this procedure:
http://www.beosfrance.com/aides.php?cat=11&id=62&title=installer_haiku_depuis_windows
(sorry, in french, i'm not "not authorised to view this resource" in
Haikuware, don't ask me why), and it's not very encouraging, isn't it?
:)

I'm thinking about people who won't install BeOS or Zeta to install
Haiku. They just want to burn a .cue et voilà! ;)

Anyways, if it will be done, i can wait...

Thanks,
François
