I think the networking in haiku (at least back then) really does leave something to be desired. I also managed to get a BeOS5 installation to work in Parallel's back then too (which was how I discovered haiku in the first place). Now that I've defected to VMWare, I'll have to give haiku another try. When it can interact with the network, I'll be sure to port libtool and m4 to it!!

Sadly i currently do not have VMWare Fusion installed, although i pretty much guess that it should work fine there. With regards to networking, good luck. I hear it should work, although i have yet to see definitive proof - haha. :) Oddly enough i didn't notice any development stuff on the test image - i guess the Haiku guy's aren't confident enough to build Haiku on Haiku yet. So i reckon you might be stuck with either building a cross-compiler or building on BeOS (though i have not tried either yet since i have yet to dabble with BeOS/Haiku development). Thanks for the input. - James Gary,
