RE: [ros-dev] Site is down on release day! YAY!

Is it just my proxy cache, or does every page load except the homepage? -----Original Message----- From: Ge van Geldorp [mailto:gvg@reactos.org] Sent: 30 September 2005 09:18 To: 'ReactOS Development List' Subject: RE: [ros-dev] Site is down on release day!

There was a problem in the configuration of the firewall between the internet and the university network to which www.reactos.org is connected. It took the network people a while to track this down and fix it. The slowness of the site was caused by the firewall problem, not by the switch to the new system. The site is quite snappy for me now.

Site is down on release day! YAY!

Hi, The site has been slow day, some pages not loading, the screenshots especially (confirmed by over 5 people). Now, as I write this, it's totally dead for myself, Steven, and some other users in the channel. I thought the new page was supposed to make things faster? Best regards, Alex Ionescu

installation methods?
by Bernd Blaauw 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Which are current installation methods for ReactOS? so far only an ISO it seems, which for non-emulators requires to write/burn a disk, turn it into a drive that can read burned media (not all cdrom drives can do this), and also requires El-Torito support from the system BIOS. That last part might be worked around, if not supported by the system, by using Smart Boot Manager, which provides its own Eltorito stack. Questions: -why do an installed ROS, a ROS LiveCD and a ROS installCD all have a directory (root_of_drive)\REACTOS ? This makes it complex to have all 3 on 1 drive. WindowsXP/BartPE can use C:\WINDOWS (installed), C:\I386 (setup) , C:\MINIPE (LiveCD) for example -Is it possible to copy the contents of the install CD to a 2nd fat partition, and setup FreeLDR (on diskette for example) to boot that directory? some line like: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)\partition(2)\ReactOS="Install ReactOS from D:\REACTOS to C:\REACTOS" if the ReactOS install CD used any other directory name than a hardcoded '\REACTOS', then 1 partition would have been enough. multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)\partition(1)\ROSsetup="Install ReactOS from C:\ROSSETUP to C:\REACTOS" -How do I obtain FreeLDR, other than "installing ReactOS in an emulator first and selecting to install bootloader to A:" ? Can't find the old DOS INSTALL.COM/EXE file along with both FREELDR.SYS/INI -Does installing ReactOS from harddisk actually work? At least it prevents users having to provide controller/cdrom drivers (be it DOS or Win32 drivers). -Anyone tried ROS LiveCD + QEMU (without configuring a harddisk!) ? doesn't bootup, might be a QEMU issue. Vmware + LiveCD works, though C was assigned which isn't nice in case you decide to partition in a GUI Diskmanagement subsystem. In best case, FreeLDR or a minisetup would be able to handle a (zipped) ISO by extracting the files inside it to a temporary location, and start setup from there. Is there any premade FreeLDR diskette image available somewhere? Bernd

It is replacing clear and easily debuggable code by non-standard macros which are impossible to debug. It is also going to create problems when people which are not used to them (such as myself): 1) Have no idea what some LIST_FOR_EACH_SAFE thing is doing vs LIST_FOR_EACH vs InsertListLifoSafeMaybeLoopOrWhoKnowsWhat 2) Will never code using these macros, and thus the source will become full of both methods, which is totally ugly. Sometimes, especially in kernel code, it's much better to have an expanded logic then to use a macro. I wrote a great majority of the code that has just been, imho, pollutted with these macros, and I don't appreciate for someone to barge in and change my code for some macro that I don't understand, nor wish to, because it only causes problems. I take great care of the code I write and "own" it (in the programming term) so that if a bug in it arises, I can quickly identify it and be held responsible for it. The addition of these macros hinders that effort. I don't mind someone using them inside his or her own code. I just mind their usage in ntoskrnl, and even more so when it overwrites the clean, clear code that I've written and am used to debugging. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

software purchase for web forums
by Steven Edwards 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Hello, The web teams has requested that we purchase a software package to handle our forum discussion on the website. The purchase cost is $160 http://www.vbulletin.com/ We have about $90 in paypal donated for misc needs and this seems like a good buy if we really need it. After our hack of the website this may be a good thing. I would like to have a vote up or down about the purchase. If the majority of the project supports this then once we reach the required amount we will purchase. Please reply to me in private, the foundation or general lists only. Do not follow this thread on ros-dev. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

I was just thinking the same thing. Anyway, #reactos is mainly for arguing, talking garbage and rejoicing cheesecake ..... what can anyone possibly gain from logging that ;) ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Subsystems, how to write one
by crashfourit 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

What are the relevent ReactOS API calls for building a dynamicly loadable subsystem? I'm asking this because I can't find the API documentation on the website. (I looks more like the documentation is not yet completed.) Other questions relevent to this: How do I register a new executible file format? I.E. coff. How do I register a new interrupt vector(s). What are the API to control v86 prosses? If y'all want to know what subsystem I want to write, it is DOS. This is because I'm more familar with programing in DOS.
