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++...

ReactOS Newsletter, July 2004
ReactOS is an Open Source project licensed under the
GNU General Public License, which aims at the high
mark of being a commercially viable alternative for
markets currently using versions of Microsoft
Windows(tm) based on the NT kernel, such as Windows NT
4, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, with full application
and driver support. While development of Reactos is
still in its early stages, great amounts of effort
have been poured into the project over the past month.
Art Yerks and Alex Ionesco have been diligently
working on ironing out all the snags with their TCP/IP
implementation, and with several other networking
related tasks. While it is still uncertain when truly
functional networking will be working under ReactOS,
the work done this month has brought that goal
tangibly closer.
Another boon this month was Structured Exception
Handling. While not terribly interesting to most
users, it is an important feature of a stable NT based
kernel, which provides a means to trap exception
faults, and prevent them from causing other problems
for the host. S.E.H is a big step toward a
functionally stable environment within ReactOS. While
work continues, ReactOS now has a crude, but
serviceable S.E.H implementation.
Other things that have received attention this month
are preliminary sound card support, a performance
rewrite of the FAT file system driver, fixes for
removable media support, and the beginnings of
porting WINE's DirectX implementation, in addition to
a multitude of compatibility and bug fixes.
For more information, please visit the ReactOS
homepage at HTTP://WWW.ReactOS.COM . Feel free to
visit us on our FreeNode IRC channel, #Reactos, or on
our mailing lists. We look forward to hearing from
you!

Hello,
I need to know who all is planning on comming to LinuxWorld.de so I can
get us passes. We are limited to three exhibitor passes for free and
any extra are 15 Euros I think so if you are going to come give me your
name now. Seeing as how we only have a small space I dont want our
booth to overflow or anything so maybe you just want to get a visitors
pass and stop by and say hi.
At the last LinuxWorld is was just myself and GvG so I hope that more
will come this time. We only have two chairs as well so if there is
going to be more of us showing up then we will have to trade off.
The list is Me (99% sure), GvG, KJK:Hyperion, w3seek and ?
Thanks
Steven

Having down-loaded the latest snapshot, I was having a look around this version for the first time.
>From the start button I had gone into, Browse Files - Drives - C - Program Files - Amaya. From there, with all the pop-up windows still open, I moved the mouse to the rosexplorer item at the top of the first pop-up window from the start button, and click on it.
ros then crashed to the blue screen, with these error messages:
Bug detected (code 1e param 0 0 0 0)
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Page Fault Exception: 14(2)

I have have repeated the moves above, this time rosexplorer appeared
(I may have clicked on a empty part of the desktop window), and ros crashed again, but this time there was no blue screen and no error message.
All there was, was a screen with one quarter green with vertical lines and the other three quarters were red with horizontal lines which changed to squares then back to lines, looping constantly between the two (lines then squares).
Hope this can be of some help.

FWIW, I burnt the ROSLive CD while in Win98SE, and then had a look at it. I
could fire up the cmd.exe file while in Win98 and it ran and did everything I
asked it to.
A bit bare - I'll try to roll my own LiveCD with a few apps I need like AbiWord,
emacs, etc. Any caveats, any warnings, any ideas, any suggestions? (I.e., is
there a specified layout for files/directories? Or do they go any old where?)
Very impressive - now I'll have to grab some old unused machine and test it out
on that.

Hello All,
Well Arty and Alex along with a lot of help from others have networking
almost to a usable state. So far the wish/feature list includes:
- OpenOffice
- FireFox
- IRC
- CVS
- SEH (done?)
Lets get some ideas of other things that need to be fixed or
implemented. Sound support is going to be a post 0.3.0 bug for me as I
dont have the time or knowlege to try and fix winmm/mmdrv. If you want
to see sound on 0.3.0 you need to step up to the plate.
Thanks
Steven

For what its worth...
I think getting a single networking app, such as cvs, running is sufficient
to warrant a release. Other apps will follow and I think holding back until
networking is complete is a waste of time. Getting some form of networking
working should generate interest in the project and may get those illusive
new developers to join in.

One month without one's computer connected to the telecosmos.
That's hard. There are of course these public internet access but you know ...
webmail + 6 Mailinglists or downloading and building software... that's not
possible.
So, since I am available again, Steven, Ge and Co. I am now able to overtake
the build job.
