Thanks. But I don't know if i run ReactOS, how
could I replace the
kernel file, such as ntoskrl.exe ?
So basicly running a ReactOS installation with RosBE installed as
application, sources downloaded and modified, and then you want a way to
update files from this ReactOS installation itself?
As long as ReactOS installs only on FAT filesystem, I guess you could
use a DOS bootdisk/installation to overwrite any files. It's not
entirely convenient.
Is there basicly a set of lists of ReactOS files for the following:
* which ReactOS files can be overwritten by a new file while you're
still running in ReactOS? .inf files? small games like solitaire?
* which ReactOS files can be overwritten, but require a reboot to be
properly noticed? some drivers perhaps?
* which ReactOS files require you to be outside of ReactOS in order to
replace them? ntoskrnl comes to mind, explorer I guess
All in all, mr Fan Zhang might be asking for some kind of update
mechanism. If you had an old machine which you run ReactOS on, together
with same casual data (audio files perhaps), do you need to reformat the
disk to update ReactOS? or only remove the installation directory? or
pick a different installation directory? or same directory? After all,
you don't want to lose any user data.
