Haiku R1 Alpha1 Images
With the release of Haiku R1 Alpha1 there now are official pre-built image files available. They are provided as raw harddisk images ready to be put on disks or USB sticks, as VMDK for use in VMware and other emulators, and as ISO images ready to be burnt to CD.
Please head over to the download page at the Haiku website to get a Haiku image from one of our mirrors.
Nightly Images
These are regularly built images always using the latest code. While we do try to keep our code in a working state at all times, these are not considered to be stable and may be broken in various ways at any given point in time. They are strictly meant for testing only.
The nightly images are available in different flavors. The raw versions are raw disk images to be put on disks or USB sticks or used with emulators like QEMU. The VMWare images should work out of the box in VMWare and VirtualBox. The CD images are ISO images that can be burned to compact disks.
These archives can also be watched using RSS feeds:
Optional Packages
The pre-built optional packages are used by the Haiku build system. They are not meant for the end user directly.
