DOS/GRUB based FreeLDR floppy image available.

by Bernd Blaauw

Using LOADLIN with FreeLDR didn't work to load ReactOS from DOS, so I remembered the GRUB4DOS program. Please download but don't distribute in any way the following file (this is just a demo, I don't feel like listing sites for sourcefiles) http://odin.fdos.org/odin2005/freeldr.img bootsequence: 1) bootfloppy 2) FreeDOS bootsector (see kernel ; GPL ) 3) FreeDOS kernel (kernel 2035A, www.freedos.org ; GPL ) 4) FreeDOS command.com (FreeCOM, see www.fdos.org/kernel ; GPL ) 5) Batchfile (autoexec.bat, see below ; just a script, public domain thus) 6) GRUB (compresses nicely with UPX ; GPL) 7) FreeLDR (compresses nice with zip, but not bootable then. Can't be compressed by UPX unfortunately) Same configuration can be done on harddisk, I think (fat32 also???), which means you can now boot FreeLDR from harddisk even without a FreeLDR realmode install program or associated bootsector. configuration might be even more lightweight if I omitted FreeCOM (command.com) and used "SHELL=A:\GRUB.EXE --config-file="kernel (fd0)/freeldr.sys" instead. Some small misc. bugs on ReactOS: FreeLDR: Title part has issues when it's too long, overwrites Brian Palmer's name, and at right side it's cut-off CMD: why does "EXIT /?" (give helpscreen for EXIT command) close the cmd-window? @echo off cdd a:\ echo. echo Welcome to FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org) echo Booting FreeLDR 2.0.0 through GRUB4DOS. Press CTRL-C to abort or pause grub --config-file="kernel (fd0)/freeldr.sys

The ROS Wiki Mentions you need volunteers...

by TwoTailedFox

I was looking at the Wiki's "New Homepage Content", and it mentioned you needed volunteers, to scan the mailing lists, etc, for a useful end-of-week Newsletter. Well, I'd like to volunteer. I use Gmail to subscribe to The ROS and VLC lists, and it presents Emails as Conversations, minimising search time for specific parts of an email. That, and I religiously digest what I can, both on ROS, ROS-Dev, and the ROS-Dev SVN Commits. I'd like to do something to help contribute to ReactOS, and a Weekly Newsletter sounds quite appealing. I've done the odd article for a few IRL ones, so this is hopefully taking the next logical step. I've got a good grasp of English (Or so I'd like to think, but I swear the typo demon is about to leap out of my keyboard, and remove an "e" when I least expect it...), and good English is an excellent way to tell a user, "Wow, these guys aren't just another amateur batch of programmers!" So.. yeah, consider me Vounteered. -Stuart Robbins -- "I had a handle on life, but then it broke"

0.2.8 RC2 planned realse on Monday.

by Brandon Turner

As you might know this is the last release Robert will be able to do for a while(long term). So I will be trying to fill his spot while he is gone. Monday works out for us to be the best time where we can work together and he can show me everything that goes into packaging the release. Because of this we are going to do RC2 on this day. I need the experience and to learn from him other wise I will go into doing it blind. I know there is a lot of talk about deciding when to release and such. And no vote was taken on this, but we are stuck between a rock and a hard spot. Please understand why this decision was made. Feel free to express your views on this, and if there is over whelming opposition we can probably work something out. Brandon

compile problem

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, since some days (weeks?), I get a nice error message during compilation, if I add the '-ftracer' switch: gcc -c hal\halx86\mp\mpconfig.c -o .\up\obj-i386\hal\halx86\mp\mpconfig.o -Ihal\halx86\include -Intoskrnl\include -D_DISABLE_TIDENTS -DCONFIG_SMP -D_NTHAL_ -D__USE_W32API -Iinclude -Iinclude\reactos -Iinclude\libs -Iinclude\drivers -Iinclude\subsys -Iw32api\include -Iw32api\include\ddk -D_M_IX86 -DDBG -Wall -ftracer -Wpointer-arith -g -pipe -Werror -D_SEH_NO_NATIVE_NLG hal\halx86\mp\mpconfig.c: In function `HaliScanForMPConfigTable': hal\halx86\mp\mpconfig.c:552: internal compiler error: in cfg_layout_merge_blocks, at cfgrtl.c:2631 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://www.mingw.org/bugs.shtml> for instructions. _make: *** [.\up\obj-i386\hal\halx86\mp\mpconfig.o] Error 1 I can fix the problem a) if I remove one of the case statements after line #514 in mpconfig.c or b) if I remove the return statement at line #542 in mpconfig.c. I'm using gcc 3.4.2 for windows. Does someone see the same bug? - Hartmut

Ws2_32.dll test binary

by Alex Ionescu

Hi, A lot of people have requested to see try out the new ws2_32.dll binary. It's not complete yet, and I know the following applications don't work: - Possibly all cygwin apps that use fork() and sockets - tracert, and other XP applications which use getnameinfo(). IE6, Filezilla, Thunderbird, Firefox, MIRC, MSN, Outlook Express all work for me, but I'd be interested in other big applications that have trouble. Instructions: 1) Unzip zip file contents to the directory of the program you wish to test 2) Create a blank file in that directory, named program.exe.local, where program is the name of your app. Example: iexplore.exe.local Please make sure that you are using Microsoft Windows XP or higher for your tests. I'd be happy to receive any news of application crashes or incompatibilities. I'm most interested in games. Best regards, Alex Ionescu PS. This is a debug build. It prints out a lot of debug messages if you have a debugger attached and is also built without any optimizations. As such, network throughput might be slower. This is normal.

Upto now , it was installed manually by adding "rtl8139 entries" in the registry ( hiveinst.inf file) as per wiki driver page. Regards Gge
