Can I use BeOS without installation?

System: BeOS

All bootable BeOS Pro Edition and the Dev Edition can be started by CD and be used over a small trick without installation. In order to reach this, start your BeOS version from CD, so as if you would like to install it. Wait for the installation menu and then press Ctrl(Strg) + Alt + Del. Now the task manager is loaded. Here you can see all running programs. If you wait a moment you will see a new button at the lower site of the Task manager. Press this button in order to restart the Desktop. The system is running and you only need to close the Task manager, but do not close the installation window, because the system will reboot if you do that. Move the installation window to the side edge and use the system.

Attention:

Don't close the installation menu, because the system will restart if you do that

You don't can save any system settings

You don't can save any data to the system drive.

You can use the mount option in order to mount any available hard drive to save your data.
