The BeBox's operating system consists of several parts, all of which can be updated by a software update distributed via CD or over the Internet:
  • A boot ROM, which can be updated by software because we are using flash ROMs.
  • The BeOS, basically the kernel, servers and shared libraries, loaded from the disk.
We have an Installer application which facilitates the job of upgrading the ROM and BeOS.
