I am working in a Howto for installing ReactOS, so i tried the diferent ways for instalating it, but in recent builds there was no option to install the Freeloader in a diskete (XP machine here) in the Real Hardware instalation.
I tried downloading the binaries and copying them to C:\ReactOS , download the Freeloader image and RAWwrite it in a diskete, but i could not get the configuration screen (it worked for me, but maybe not for others without configuration options)
Is there any way i could install the Freeloader image and still have a "normal" configuration phase of ReactOS.? This will help convince people to install reactOS, not having to touch the Boot sector for a ReactOS insatllation regardless the OS you have installed would be great. I imagine something like this: -------------------------------------- 1) Download the ReactOS binaries (8 Megs) from sourceforge
2) Use Winzip to extract them to C:\ that way a Folder called C:\ReactOS will be created with all the reactos files(It must be a FAT32 partition).
3) Download the Program Rawwrite for windows and extract it to any folder you wish.
4) Download the Freeloader Floopy Disk image and extract it to any folder you wish.
5) Insert a new formated Floopy Disk and Execute Rawwrite:
6) Select the image file from the folder you extracted the Freeloader:
7) Press write, and wait till the program ends writing the image to the Floopy.
8) Restart the computer booting from the Floopy Disk: ----------------------------------------
This is the option i would like as user. Copy the program to a folder, and the use a Diskete to load it. Usefull both in 95/98/NT/XP and Linux, with minimal risks for people who fears burning their HD.
But the question, Can this be done?. I have downloaded the source code but i am lost. Can someone help me with this?
Thanks in advance, Lucio Diaz.
