Who would've thought living without broadband for a week would:
- Feel like you've lost a limb
- Result in 700+ emails from mailing lists being downloaded upon my return!
Although I haven't contributed much to the project, I just thought I'd say
I'm back... Been busy moving into a flat, and messing with wireless
networking. Shame I don't really get time to do coding at the moment :(
If you are interested in an alternative forum for driver development, you
may want to check out
http://www.osronline.com/page.cfm?name=ListServer
Considering it's free and it is a fairly active mailing list (probably the
leading one for that matter) on NT driver development, and frequented by
Microsoft as well as other leading brand companies, it may be able to help
you.

Hello All,
I am going to be in Germany from Oct 22nd to Nov 3. Gvg and I will both
be attending LinuxWorld and I want to know who all is coming so I can
get passes. If there are any of you in Germany that are planing on
attending please let us know now as I would like to try and have you
talk to some local hotels and see if we can get a group discount or
something.
Thanks
Steven

Hi
I was wondering about doing some documentation, since I've got a lot of spare
time on my hands. (And a bit of experience writing stuff - one unpublished
novel, one 2nd draft novella, several short stories, and some short short
stories - so I figure I know that side well enough to transfer my skills over to
the technical side without a brain transplant or a second degree.)
What sort of documentation is most needed at this stage?

P.S. I've got one of those Dell OptiPlex G1 333L thingees to play around with
ReactOS, and it's not recognizing the 3249.3 MB HDD I've got for it. Anyone
know where I can get an A04 upgrade that'll recognize it? Or some such BIOS?

I am willing to buy an AMD PCNET Nic as this card is compatible with Reactos
On E-bay , I can buy the following Nic : AMD Am79C970 PCnet PCI
Single-Chip Ethernet Contr.
Is it the card that is used by some developpers for networking ?

Hi all!
Am thinking of trying out ReactOS on my home machine, but thought I'd
clarify a few things before going ahead.
My current setup is this: I have a primary master disk, on which I have
Windows 98 (primary partition), FreeBSD (primary partition), Windows XP
and Linux (logical partitions). I use GRUB as my bootloader. I have a
secondary master disk, on which I plan to install FreeDOS (primary
partition), and ReactOS (primary partition). I checked up with the
FreeDOS folks and it seems installing FreeDOS into my existing setup is
a no problem -- FreeDOS would need its equivalent of config.sys and
autoexec.bat to be present on my C: (which is the Windows 98 partition),
and other than that there should be no hassles (FreeDOS will install its
bootsector on its partition only, and I can get GRUB to load it from
there).
>From the installation pages of ReactOS, I figure that if I were to
install ReactOS into my current setup, it would add itself to the
Windows XP boot manager. Coz my Windows 98 partition is currently
active, and that's where the XP boot manager is installed, and that's
where the ntldr and boot.ini files are located. Righto?
But suppose I don't want to boot ReactOS through the XP boot manager,
can I do the following: make the ReactOS partition as active beforehand,
and so when ReactOS installs itself it will find that the active
partition has no boot manager or files etc and so will install the
bootsectors to this partition ... and then I can use GRUB to load these
bootsectors to boot into ReactOS? Is this possible? ReactOS wont
overwrite my MBR (GRUB) or XP boot manager etc in this case right?
Thanks,
Rakhesh
Maybe a couple of weeks of sun and beer?
I've never managed to get into the spirit of coding on Reactos. I would love
to, but I think at present everything is far too low level and the learning
curve is just too great for me.

Subject: [ros-general] Small issue with vmware and a small gripe
Hello all, long time no talk, working 2 jobs sucks ;)
Anyways, one small issue here...the vmware wizard no longer pops up
during installation...it used to at one point. BTW i'm using VMWare
4.5.2 build 8848
It's been a while since i actually worked on any part of ROS...mainly i
haven't had the motivation to code or work on any projects at ALL.
Anyone know of a cure for such a problem? I used to go DAYS coding and
working on ideas i think up, now...nothing. Can't even bring myself to
open ultraedit32 or visual C++...
