This version does not support USB Keyboard! so keep that in mind if you doesn't have a PS/2 one. Macs unfortunately cannot use keyboard right now. BetaOS works best on Intel CPUs. To install choose one BetaOS.dmg or BetaOS.zip or if you're using PC - BetaOS_PC.zip from any of previous releases and restore or copy its contents to a disk and replace Kernel file.
