<p>PoorMan is a nice little webserver that's extremly easy to set up. Naturally it doesn't offer any advanced features like other heavy duty server software, it's after all only a poor man's webserver.</p>
<p>Upon its first launch, PoorMan asks for the folder that is about to be served to the web. If you go with the <span class="button">Default</span>, a new folder <span class="path">/boot/home/public_html</span> is created for you. As a start page a HTML file named by default <span class="cli">index.html</span> has to be present there.</p>
<p>PoorMan presents itself with a simple console that logs its activity, information if the server is running and which directory is being served, a hit counter and a menubar to access e.g. the settings:</p>
<p><img id="poorman" src="../../images/apps-images/poorman.png" alt="poorman.png" width="735" height="336" /></p>
<p>The settings panel is divided into three tabs:</p>
<p>In <span class="menu">Site</span> you can select another folder to serve, enter another start page and have the option to send a file listing if the start page isn't present.<br />
<span class="menu">Logging</span> lets you de/activate logging to the console or optionally to a separate logfile.<br />
The <span class="menu">Advanced</span> tab holds the setting for the maximum simultaneous connections.</p>
<p>The menu items of the console window are all self-explanatory. With them you can e.g. save (parts) of the console output, clear the console or logging file and start/stop the server or clear the hit counter.</p>
<div class="box-info">If you want to try out if PoorMan's working, choose <span class="path">/boot/apps/BePDF/docs/</span> as folder and <span class="cli">index.html</span> as start page. Then point your browser to the URL 127.0.0.1, which is your local host.</div>

<h1><a id="system" name="system">The system folder - <span class="path">/boot/system/</span></a></h1>
<p>The fact that it's called "<i>beos</i>" shows Haiku's BeOS heritage. It wasn't renamed yet to ensure backward compatibility with BeOS software.<br />
Whatever it's named, you should not alter what's inside. Every update of Haiku can add, remove or overwrite anything within it. If you want to add functionality, maybe with other Tracker Add-Ons or Translators or maybe another hardware driver, you install these things under your own <span class="path">/boot/home/</span> hierarchy or, if it's supposed to be for every user, under <span class="path">/boot/common/</span>. As long as Haiku isn't multi-user, this distinction has no apparent effect, as there's only one user with one <i>home</i> folder. But since there will be support for more users than one eventually, it makes sense to learn the right way from the start.</p>
<p>So, let's say you want to install a new Translator for the latest image format, you <b>don't</b> simply copy it into the respective system folder. Remember: Don't touch!<br />
Instead, you put it into the mirrored hierarchy under <span class="path">/boot/common/</span> or <span class="path">/boot/home/config/</span>.</p>
<p>In our example the location for Translators in the system folder would be</p>
<p><span class="path">/boot/beos/add-ons/Translators/</span></p>
<p><span class="path">/boot/system/add-ons/Translators/</span></p>
<p>So, the user "mirror" folder is either</p>
<p><span class="path">/boot/home/config/add-ons/Translators/</span><br />

Boot managers range from totally simple ones that are just enough to find the partition marked active and jump to the partition boot code of said partition, to almost complete operating systems with editing capabilities and other fancy features.</p>
<h1>The Partition Boot Record</h1>
<p>Additionally to the Master Boot Record, there can also be a partition boot record. It's located at the start of a partition and contains further boot code. Depending on the boot manager you are using and how you configured it, this boot code will be executed or not. In the case of Haiku the partition boot code does locate the <span class="path">/boot/beos/system/zbeos</span>" file which then starts the operating system boot process.<br /> Additionally it contains the partition offset needed to access this partition during boot. A wrong value for that offset is probably one of the most common reason why a Haiku installation doesn't start to boot.</p>

<p>As mentioned, whether or not the partition boot code is used depends on the boot manager and boot manager configuration. If you take GRUB installed as boot manager in the MBR and booting Linux. GRUB knows how to handle most Linux filesystems and it does know how to load and start a Linux kernel off of it. Therefore it can directly load Linux without the need for any additional boot code.<br />
However GRUB does neither know how to handle BFS and find the zbeos boot loader, nor would it really know how to execute it. Therefore you cannot use GRUB to directly boot Haiku.<br />
Instead you need to chainload the partition boot code of the BFS partition, as it knows how to handle both the BFS and zbeos.</p>

Only the add-ons that can handle a specific filetype are presented under <span class="menu">Add-Ons</span> from the context menu or the <span class="menu">File</span> menu of a Tracker window. Some add-ons don't necessarily need a file to work on and are thus always present.</p>

<p>Moving through your folders is one of Trackers main purposes, just like the file managers on other platforms. Haiku's Tracker has some unique features that will help you doing that efficiently.</p>
<h2><a id="drill-down" name="drill-down">Drilling down the submenus</a></h2>
<p>Instead of double-clicking your way down folder after folder, there's a better way to drill down:</p>
<img src="../images/tracker-images/drill-down.png" alt="drill-down.png" width="603" height="303" />
<p>Right-click onto a folder, and at the top of the usual context menu you'll find a submenu of the current folder that let's you navigate down a level. Just move down the hierarchy until you find the file or folder you're looking for and click on it to open it. The above shows the contents of the folder <span class="path">/boot/beos/system/</span>.<br /><br /></p>

Just move down the hierarchy until you find the file or folder you're looking for and click on it to open it. The above shows the contents of the folder <span class="path">/boot/system/documentation/</span>.<br /><br /></p>
<p>A similar method can be used from any Tracker window:</p>
<img src="../images/tracker-images/window-drill-down.png" alt="window-drill-down.png" width="502" height="359" />
<p>Click on the area in the lower left, where the number of items is listed, and you'll get submenus for every level above your current location. From there you can drill down through the folders as usual.</p>
<p>Note, that the Desktop is always the topmost level as that is where Tracker shows mounted volumes. So, if you want to go to another disk, you first have to navigate to the top (Desktop) and cross over to your other disk from there.</p><br />
<p>You'll get the same submenu-navigating when you drag a file over a folder. After a short while of hovering, a submenu pops up and you can drill down to your destination. If you initiated the drag with the right mousebutton, you can choose between copying, moving or linking the file when you release the mouse.</p><br />

<h2><a id="type-ahead" name="type-ahead">Jumping to files with type-ahead</a></h2>
<p>You may be familiar with the concept from file managers of other operating systems: typing the first few letters of a filename will jump to the first file matching these starting characters. Haiku took the idea a step further. If there isn't a file starting with those letters it will jump to the first file including the string anywhere in its name. And if there's nothing with the string in its filename, the attributes are searched next.</p>
<img src="../images/tracker-images/window-type-ahead.png" alt="window-type-ahead.png" width="652" height="317" />
<p>In the above example, there are many files starting with "Haiku logo", rendering simpler approaches to typing ahead quite useless. In Haiku however, typing "web" jumps right to its first occurence in "Haiku logo - website". The characters you enter appear in the bottom left corner where you normally find the item count of all files in the folder. A second after entering a character, the display jumps back to normal and you're ready for a new type ahead search.</p>

<p>Sometimes you just want to rearrange a few icons without doing a complete <span class="menu">Clean Up</span> (<span class="key">ALT</span>&#160;<span class="key">K</span>). In that case, you select these icons and start to drag them to their new location. Before you drop them there, keep <span class="key">ALT</span> pressed. This will align the icons to the invisible grid.</p>
<p>The rest of the functions are pretty self-explanatory, leaving the Tracker preferences.</p>
