Hello to the group.... my first post.... I noticed some talk about the Reactos installer following the windows form. As a long time NT admin who moved into product development on Linux I would just like to point out how mediocre the windows installer is. With a bootable linux ISO you get a full network stack, functional USB support, detected UDMA IDE drivers, Vesfa FB X11 etc etc etc... with the windows installer you get a kernel, a few utils and a pretty inflexable installer. Would it not make more sense to write an installer thats based on a bootable Linux image - if nothing else the use of networking offers a host of possibilities (diskless installs, updates from the internet during the install phase and so on). Is the aim to clone windows, or to produce an operating system that is API compatible with win32 ? They are very different aims with very different requirements! Jon

Hi Ged (and others interested), As I promised to you, I'd like to announce that my user-mode networking code is now complete and will undergo testing for the next 2-3 weeks (just like ws2_32 did) in order to find bugs. I will also do as for ws2_32 and commit it into the branch with the full svn logs of my local svn server. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

the 3 partially duplicated NTSTATUS code copies

by art yerkes

Does anybody object to consolidating all but one of the partial NTSTATUS_* copies to: #ifndef WIN32_NO_STATUS #include <ddk/ntstatus.h> #endif And keeping the copy in ddk/ntstatus.h ? -- Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that something important is happening. -- Robert Stirniman

If VfatOpenFile returns with an error and without a parent fcb, we have to return the error. - Hartmut

Symbolic Links

by David Hinz

I was just wondering, if we could implement symbolic links in ReactOS. As I don't want to add this feature to every filesystem that doesn't support symbolic links, I thought about another way. I had two ideas: 1. Use a file for this, comparable to files like HOSTS etc 2. Use the registry The more I thought about this, I liked my second idea more than my first and noticed what a great thing the registry is. We could simply add keys like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\symlinks\C:\My Files and set the target directory as it's value. It's very easy to search for such keys, so it shouldn't be that hard to implement it into the IFS-driver. More complicated would be the implementation into explorer and the creation of a commandline utility. A second feature could be to create such links for every user, so that every user could use C:\My Files\... which would be linked to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Files\... and he wouldn't even notice. I think that would be a nice feature and I would really like to implement this, but I'm afraid I can't do this alone, as I don't have much experience and I'm just beginning to learn C++ and asm, so it would be nice, if someone of you who likes this idea could help me with this. Greets, David Hinz
