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 :)
