WineConf
by Vizzini 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

All, Steven Edwards, Mark Tempel, Art Yerkes, and I will be attending WineConf 1/31-2/1. One or more of us will be presenting about ReactOS on Sunday morning. We're going to start work on a presentation soon, and in preparation, I'd like to have links or e-mail of any screenshots that you think look nice for the presentation. Also, any suggestions, hints, etc., would be appreciated. Thanks. -Vizzini

cmd.exe scripts
by Semyon <tappak> Novikov 22 Jan '04

22 Jan '04

Hi peoples. I'm newbie in this list. A few days ago, i wrote "manual browser" on cmd.exe script. (UNIX man-like) I wrote him on NT and optimize it for OS/2. But ROS 0.2rc1's cmd.exe don't understand some NT's cmd.exe comands. (such as setlocal) I will rewrite "man" in near future, but why ROS cmd don't have full compatibility with NT cmd? p.s Anybody want to write some man-pages? ;) -- Best Reagrds. Tappak. Sorry for my english. I'm just a russian student.

Are we going to see 0.9 tagged as the main event at Wineconf 2004? Until we have a WINE 1.x I dont think we are going to see this in large numbers. Once 1.x happens and our regression testing system is filled with unit tests it will make vendors jump on board. All in all I think its a great idea from the ReactOS side as I have been putting out feelers to ISVs Q&A people and they have no problem adding ReactOS to the already bloated list of Windows versions they have to test apps for. If this is going to really happen though we must have a stable WINE sooner rather than later. Thanks Steven PS. The goal 95% of all Windows apps on crossover is nice but I am afraid I am seeing more and more .Nyet apps out in the real world. For this to happen anytime soon we have to get on the ball with Mono and Windows.Forms. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Interim 0.2 .iso available
by Ge van Geldorp 20 Jan '04

20 Jan '04

Since the RC1 .iso was removed from SourceForge (it contained a dangerous error in the setup program) and the RC2 is scheduled for Wednesday night there is no "official" 0.2 .iso downloadable at the moment. To help tide us over I've put a new .iso here: ftp://ftp.geldorp.nl/pub/ReactOS.iso Of course, the fix that Hartmut Birr made to repair the setup program is included in this .iso. It will disappear after RC2 is available on SourceForge. Gé van Geldorp.

Can't install ROS 0.2 rc1
by Francisco Jos� Ca�izares Santofimia 19 Jan '04

19 Jan '04

Hi, i'm currently trying to install ROS 0.2. The install appears to be good, but when it installs the boot loader it says something similar to: Current partition is unused (invalid), and didn't install the bootloader. Any idea on how it's fail? By the way, can ROS booted with grub or something that can "chainload"? Many thanks in advance. ______________________________________________________ Get Paid...
