I must have done something wrong, but:
The copy I had was a store-bought 5.0 version
. It was too elite to do any drive formatting
. When I gave it a Windows partion to chomp on, it cheerfully accepted it, and then accused me of not having the correct files on the distribution CD.
. It came with a big honkin' book which dedicated the first 100 pages to the praises of some leader, including a story of how some programmer screwed up his leg big-time on a retreat, just to show dedication.
I do not mean to troll here. I had a bad experience with BeOS. Maybe one of you can help me salvage it by telling me where I might have gone wrong.

Thanks! I must have missed an obvious step, but you've given me a good clue. I'll dive into the manual again and give it another try.
