Let&#8217;s all agree that its days as an actual web browser are over, this still leaves it as a great little reader of HTML documentation. MUCH faster than Bon Echo.<br \/>\nYou can get Net+ running on Haiku if you are prepared to download a 39Mb file to get it. That file is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bebits.com\/app\/2680\">BeOS for Linux<\/a>. If you expand the tarball you will see a floppy image and a file called image.be. Don&#8217;t let the .be suffix fool you &#8211; it is actually in RAW format, and RAW images can be converted and\/or mounted in different ways.<br \/>\nIn my case, I use VirtualBox to run Haiku, so the following command in the Host OS:<br \/>\n<em>VBoxManage convertfromraw &#8211;format VDI image.be beos.vdi<\/em><br \/>\nconverts the .be file into something VirtualBox can mount as a second &#8222;hard disk&#8220;. From then it is just a question of drilling down to where Net+ is found (\/boot\/home\/beos\/apps &#8211; the one in \/boot\/apps is just a symlink) and dragging it to \/boot\/apps on your main Haiku disk.<br \/>\nNet+ requires a few directories in your settings folder, but it will recreate them the first time you run it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are an old BeOS user, likely one of the things you miss about Haiku is NetPositive, the native BeOS browser.
