WinPE Tools by TheTruth

[Robert Köpferl]

Hi,

I'm not experienced with networking on NT but combination says me that 
this tool could be an enrichment for ReactOS 0.3

It's a network configurator for win PE

Technical opinions?

[David Johnson]

Can you make a distro of ROS with BartPE? Just wondering?

But what'd be the point? ReactOS already has a LiveCD version, and
it's not limited like WinPE or BartPE are.

just wondering. because if ros can be made into a BartPE distro... it says
allot to the maturity of the code. Also compatibility of the code. IMHO

Yeah, that'd be true, but it also depends on how much PEBuilder
exploits Windows XP/2003 on weather it'd be a real feat :/

BartPE/WinPE is nothing more than a limited livecd for windows...we 
already HAVE a version for ROS, download the livecd.

I'm wondering what live-cd is for?

Can you please tell me where the ReactOS installer source code is
located in the source tree?
I would like to read it... and if not much dificult, parhaps make some
changes (improvements, of course!) to it...

For example, add suport for recognising more partitions types (without
necessarily working with them)... I think this could be done by anyone...

Thanks in advance

Be aware that support for more/other partition formats is a matter of 
the disk dirver. The driver that makes the whole-disk-dev-file into 
several partition-files/devs

I've just noticed that... when I saw some references to a function
called "IsRecognizedPartition" whose declaration I couldn't find inside
the setup directory! Clearly it isn't specific to the program but it
makes part of the kernel or something else...


I thought setup discovered the partition type by looking at its hex
number in the partition table... My idea was making the setup recognise
more partition types (in order to inform the user of it when in the
partitioning screen). Then, instead of writing "Type 142", it would
write "Linux LVM", even having no idea on how LVM works...
That would be useful (making the setup recognising partition types
without working with them) because, with "unknown" partitions on the
disk, users can make confusion and misidentify them, thus making bad
changes on the disk...

Joao, that's the same idea I had for the setup system.

But, what would be really neat, is distinguishing Ext2 from Ext3,
ReiserFS and so on, that all use the 'Linux Native' partition hex
value.
