    1313Haiku currently only works on x86 systems. Minimum memory required is 128 MB. If compiling Haiku within itself, 1 GB of memory is recommended. Haiku has been tested to work on CPUs as slow as a Pentium II 400 MHz, and requires as little as 700 MB of drive space.

    16 == Known Issues ==
    17 
    18 Subpixel font rendering is disabled by default.

    20 
    21 == Missing Features ==
    22 
    23 Haiku does not yet support WPA encryption for wireless networking, only WEP encryption is supported.
    24 
    25 There is no package management yet.
    26 
    27 The Haiku boot manager (bootman) supports a single hard disk drive only.
    28 
    29 USB keyboards attached to OHCI or to USB 2.0 hubs do not work in Kernel Debugging Land (KDL). They need to be connected to UHCI root ports to work in KDL. Also note that when entering the kernel debugger by means of a panic it is possible that the keyboard does not work. To work around this issue you can manually enter the kernel debugger once and leave it again to enable the USB keyboard.
    30 
    31 Font overlay is not yet implemented in Haiku. As a result, if at the beginning of the installation you choose a language that uses glyphs not supported by the default font (such is the case for Japanese, for instance), the localized text on the screen will become garbled. For such cases, until font overlay is implemented, please run the installer in English mode.

    3316== New Features ==
     
    7861Created a new file image type, 'anyboot', which allows a Haiku image to be burned as an ISO or written directly to USB. To note, some burning software may try to be 'clever' and will incorrectly burn
