And for the intermediate time I question you to download the RC1 and try it out, PLUS report bugs into our nice bugzilla!
Sorry, no ReactOS account so far. Visual character recognition pattern (for account confirmation) scared me off last time.
*Icon on installation ISO seems rather big filesize. Also located in root directory :( Polluting root directory might not be nice if ReactOS would be added to some Linux distro as a bonus operating system. ("keep everything as much as possible in its own single directory") *Installation seems to work with 32MB in VMware. Disable hosts virusscanner first, it makes things slooooooooooooow. *GPL isn't viewable on bootcdrom, yet is installed (and viewable) on ReactOS (acknowledgement screen) *configuration stage #2: computername cannot contain numeric characters. Probably only A..Z allowed *configuration stage #2: passwords may be empty (indeed 14 or less characters..) *configuration stage #2: is "12:52AM" a valid setting? shouldn't that be 0:52(AM) or something? *configuration stage #2: reboot part after timezone screen *hangs* mouse. After reboot same configuration setup appears again, from the beginning. It also remembers the computername I entered [VMROS] :) Any limits on computername, by the way (minimum length, max length, allowed characters)
Conclusion: cannot install (Vmware 5.5beta, winXP host, gues set as type 'Win98' with memory changed to 32MB).
LiveCD: splashscreen shows, then cdrom is read very shortly. Then a blue screen with nothing on it, and system appears to hang.
Final conclusion: time for QEMU :)
