Image downloads...

[Andrew Smith]

Hi,

It's my first time posting here, but I've been reading it for a little
while now and I've just looked at the download section of the website
again and noticed that there are premade images for Qemu and Bochs yet
none for VMware or Virtual PC.

Is this just because no one has created one? or are there other
reasons (like licencing reasons)?

If it's because no one makes one then I'd be happy to make a ZIP of
the files needed that you can host. With the 0.2.4 release the ZIP is
6,232,010 bytes which includes

ROS
VMware driver
6.0 GB sparse virtual hard drive split into 2 GB files (setup as IDE 0:0)
Auto-detect CD-ROM (setup as IDE1:0)
Floppy drive
Bridged NIC1
USB Controller
Audio
256MB virtual RAM

If you're interested then let me know. I know having a 0.2.4 ZIP is
kind of pointless now with 0.2.5's release date set for the 31st. But
I could get a ZIP of that release if you'd like one.

its pointless to make a image to vmvare because you just can use the bootcd image why when then
make another zip file?

Now that we have an ISO (setup) and LiveCD - do we really need Bochs
and QEmu images at all?

Cheers

Hi
I think it good to keep qemu image for people that does not know how to
setup qemu.
and for thuse does not want test reactos on real hardware.

Hi

Ok, but then lets drop the Bochs image at the very least; QEmu is
faster and I don't think many people use Bochs anymore for trying out
ReactOS.

Cheers

using the livecd then you wouldn't install new apps should you want
to, unless you install to a partition (i've not tried the livecd, can
you do an install from it?). and some people would rather just extract
and double click a file to get it loaded. It also saves lots of people
having to do the same few steps to get it installed.

In the end I guess I thought it'd just save the people that use VMware
some time. Just an idea :)

P.S. Sorry Thomas, clicked the wrong button :)
