Hello!
Due to Christmas and New Year holidays this month's status meeting makes little sense. Preliminary it's rescheduled to January, exact dates will be proposed after speaking to our team members.
Thank you all for your work in 2012, and bright future awaits us in 2013, I'm sure.
Best regards, Aleksey Bragin

I'm not sure if suggestions for topics/subjects are welcome but I'd like to see a single ISO always containing both the LiveCD and BootCD (for each revision). Gets rid of the failing AUTORUN on LiveCD pointing to a missing \reactos\welcome.exe at least (and might encourage further work on a GUI installer).
And as you got your own servers anyway, maybe some "boot.reactos.org" where iPXE can connect to (the ISO file) with its 'sanhook' command.
Thank you all for your work in 2012, and bright future awaits us in 2013, I'm sure.
Happy new year and best of luck improving ReactOS. May you be able to present 0.4.0 this year :)

Hi !

Hey ! That's great idea :)) But first of all we have to be sure that PXE is really implemented (I think something exists in freeldr) and if so, works correctly. Maybe some work in the kernel is also required (for that last point, it's the same for our RAMDISK support).

Hi,
AFAIK, PXE has been already worked by Hervé Poussineau, at least, in FreeLDR to try to provide such feature. But ReactOS was then unable to work on PXE, producing a BSOD. The code path needed wasn't implemented in the kernel.
And unless I'm totally wrong, I improved some code close to the PXE support in the kernel, but never check its implementation nor implemented it if required. Was a long time ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm9VIawx__Y shows ReactOS installed inside a ramdisk-loaded (by Syslinux) harddisk image. The tricky bit is lack of documentation of how to do this (QEMU likely) and it's unknown if it's native code or some memory-driver like WinVBlock was added.
Relying on an optical drive connected to IDE controller as the sole method for installing your OS is becoming a liability.

Great! Now our own bootloader (FreeLoader) must be adapted to boot-up PXE images (instead of using PXELINUX).

just one note... which image would be the "eligible" to be the "loader"? HEAD (which is constantly changing) or maybe latest public published release (which, as of now, is 0.3.14, too old for testing)?

HEAD if the build managed to complete at iso.reactos.org ?

(rev 58113 suffers from 2012-End-of-the-World-syndrome still in 2013).

My syslinux.cfg has the following, which might be entirely depending on int13 making it useless for protected mode OS like ReactOS :
linux /ipxe.krn append dhcp && sanboot --drive 0xF0 http://boot.ipxe.org/freedos/fdfullcd.iso
( https://gist.github.com/2234639 seems quite extensive as manual)
Anyway, goodluck with the meeting
