Greetings All,<div><br></div><div>I am new to ReactOS but have much experience with with Windows, Linux, etc... as well as programming mainly in C/C++.</div><div><br></div><div>Recently, I have decided to looking into ReactOS from a learning perspective after which, once the learning curve has been completed, I may try to get involved with some of the development efforts as well as work on some additional projects.</div>
<div><br></div><div>From what I have seen, ReactOS has come a very long ways in its development and is really turning into a special OS to be recognized.</div><div><br></div><div>I would like to review some of the documentation on the Wiki but had a question regarding an experiment that I wanted to investigate with ReactOS.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The question that I wanted to answer is this. </div><div><br></div><div>What is the absolute minimum size, as relates to booting and OS files that are needed by ReactOS to run, for example, the notepad.exe program?</div>
<div><br></div><div>To caveat this, it would include leaving out all of the OS tools, Explorer, Desktop, and absolutely everything that is not clearly needed to run the notepad.exe application.</div><div><br></div><div>Basically, I would like ReactOS to boot and go directly into the notepad application.  The real point here is to investigate what &quot;absolute&quot; minimum files are needed to run a simple application.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Sounds a bit crazy, but that is the question that I would like to answer.</div><div><br></div><div>Any ideas or information related to this would be greatly appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks and have a great day,</div>
<div>Lonnie</div>
