hi! first you have to start the boot.bat file.

The booting stops without error-message

by theUser BL

Hi! Yesterday I wanted to try ReactOS on my computer. I downloaded the 0.2.0-binaries and started aboot: -------------------------------------- Microsoft(R) Windows98 (C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1981-1999. C:\>cd reactos C:\REACTOS>aboot C:\REACTOS>loadros system32\ntoskrnl.exe system32\hal.dll system32\drivers\acpi. sys /DEBUGPORT=SCREEN bootc.lst Loading: system32\ntoskrnl.exe .................. Loading: system32\hal.dll ... Loading: system32\drivers\acpi.sys ........ Loading: bootc.lst .Loading: system32\drivers\pci.sys . Loading: system32\drivers\scsiport.sys .. Loading: system32\drivers\atapi.sys .. Loading: system32\drivers\class2.sys .. Loading: system32\drivers\disk.sys .. Loading: system32\drivers\vfatfs.sys ... Loading: system32\drivers\ndis.sys ...... Loading: system32\config\system .. Loading: system32\ansi.nls ... Loading: system32\oem.nls ... Loading: system32\casemap.nls . _ -------------------------------------- (the "_" is the actual cursor-position) After that, the system hangs up. It is possible to reboot with [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[del], but you cant abort. And there don't stand any error-message. I don't know, _why_ it hangs up. Is it possible, that it can't read the Win98SE-filesystem? But why doesn't stand there an error-message?

RE: AW: [ros-general] The booting stops without error-message

by theUser BL

Hmmm.. I can only test it later, because here I have an internet-connection, but I can not test reactos. And later at home, I can test reactos, but doesn't have internet-connection. > first you have to start the boot.bat file. After this progress you >can retry C:\REACTOS>aboot Are you sure? I have looked at first in the bat-files. aboot.bat have: loadros system32\ntoskrnl.exe system32\hal.dll system32\drivers\acpi.sys /DEBUGPORT=SCREEN bootc.lst rem comment added and changed for no reason and boot.bat have: loadros system32\ntoskrnl.exe system32\hal.dll /DEBUGPORT=BOCHS bootc.lst So, aboot load one driver more (acpi.sys) and the debugport is the screen and not bochs. And because my computer is too slow for bochs, I run it direct on my computer. So I think, that aboot makes more sense. :-/ For me it looks that boot and aboot are the same. boot for the virtual machine and aboot for the real computer. But if you think it's better to use boot, I will test it later at home with it.

dos support in reactos

by theUser BL

Here are two interesting links for including DOS-Support in ReactOS: An free 32bit DOS. From there it is possible to use DOS-programs like "type" and so. http://freedos-32.sourceforge.net/ And here a DosBOX, which run 16bit DOS-Programs on different OperatingSystems and different Hardware. Their code can be usefull for ReactOS I think: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 Greatings theuserbl _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger - sehen, welche Freunde online sind! http://www.msn.de/messenger Jetzt kostenlos downloaden und mitmachen!

great project / suggestions

by Jan Tisje

hi, yesterday I read the first time about ReactOS. Probably it exactly is, what I am dreaming about for years. Small, stable, easy to use. and compatible to windows.... GREAT I did not read the whole list archies yet, so please be patient, if my ideas are old ones ;-) Since I do not understand C (in fact I hate c/cpp) some very odd suggestions are, to use very current technologies like - XML - a progamming language that is cool (probably no one exists yet) so, for now it seems to be best to stay with c/cpp. :-( that means to me it does not make sense to help in kernel development. A part that I could imagine is, finding software that is "cool" and assigning "certificates" to this software. ok, it seems a little bit early compared to reactOS state... but, let us think about it. A great problem on windows at the time is, there are millions of software projects, free or commercial, that one can easily find to be very bad in software architecture and/or GUI design. Now if reactOS gets more mighty on the OS market, it could be an instance that labels good software and thus forces software development to raise in quality. different labels to give: "reactOS compatible", "easy to use", "poweruser software", "absolutly stable"... It took me years to find some great software and I think I can name some applications that will fit, and some that will never. ;-) later, reactOS could use these certificates to obtain money from commercial software developers, as M$ does with its driver certificates. "reactOS certified" ;-) what do you think? bye Jan

Though on my own RosAsm Board, i am in favour of a "zero sensorship" rule, for a Board like ReactOS one, keeping completely free from war threads is a must. There is no limit to what the Anti-Gpl guys are able to do. Also, forcing to registration would be much more frustrating, IMHO, than deleting offending and WW3 threads. Betov.

Is really the whole ReactOS GPL? Then its a problem.

by theUser BL

Hi! In your forum existing a question without any answer: http://www.reactos.com/content/view/full/1493 And I wonder. Is the complete ReactOS under the GPL? On the main-side of the homepage there stand: >License >ReactOS is licensed under the GNU General Public License. But if really the complete ReactOS is under the GPL (and without an special exception like in the GNU Classpath project http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/license.html). The problem of the GPL is, that you can't link GPL-incompatible programs (that are the most of the Windows-programs) with GPL libraries. In the FAQ there stand nothing about this. But I have seen, that you have discussed this at http://reactos.com:8080/archives/public/ros-general/2004-February/000703.ht… But it seems, that you are still happy with the GPL. Have a look at Linux. The primary widget-toolkits are GTK+ and Qt. GTK+ is licensed under the LGPL, thats ok. But Qt is licensed under the GPL (and QPL) for free. And there existing a third license for commercial use. If you want to create a closed-source library, which linked to Qt, you need the commercial license of the Qt, because you can only link to GPL-libraries, if your program is GPL-compatible. I think, that ReactOS needs more to be LGPL, then GNU/Linux. All modules for the Linux-kernel and all drivers are GPL. And they _must_ be GPL, because the kernel is GPL. But you want to use with ReactOS closed-source drivers. So your ReactOS-kernel can not be GPL or it is not legal to use all the MS-Windows-drivers for ReactOS. The problem is not only, to run programs on ReactOS. I think, it would be nice, if it is possible, to create GPL-incompatible programs/libraries/drivers on ReactOS without using MS-Windows. I see a very big problem in the use of the GPL in ReactOS. Do you have contacted the FreeSoftwareFoundation or Richard Stallman, what they think about the legallity of using proprietary programs/libraries/drivers with an ReactOS, which is completly under the GPL?

[ros-translation] Language Coordinators

by Aleksey Bragin

Hello, we need to establish a list of Language Coordinators, since we're actually starting to do the translation of the web site. And using this case I'm testing the ros-translation list. I'm sending a copy of this email to ros-general list, but this is the one and only time I do this, since some people haven't subscribed to ros-translation yet. Please reply/discuss only in ros-translation, not ros-general, about translation topics. As for now, we have: Dutch (dut) - Mark IJbema German (ger) - ? Thomas, you have time? Or maybe someone else better, since you're quite busy with coding? Italian (ita) - ? Russian (rus) - me for now, but someone else later French (fre) - ? Spanish (spa) - ? That's languages we have at least two people on them. With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin.
