Re: [ros-general] why folks (Fw: Kernel Support For Case-Insensitive Filenames)

Linus is at the position to implement this by introducing some work around-like new system calls. I think it isn't possible to do this correctly without handling any file names in the kernel using Unicode. (be it UTF-8, UTF-16 or the four byte encoding used in unix environments commonly) NTFS has Unicode support since ages! I think this shows one main point, why NT has been called "New Technology". So I am waiting for a main feature announcement for Linux version [23]\.[0-9]\.[0-9\.]+ like "full Unicode support in kernel". :-) Regards, Martin

Re: [ros-kernel] ReactOS 0.2.1 RC-1

by Nick Journals

Indeed it doesn't work. It has to be something with sourceforge itself. Yesterday when I tried to download for first time. They stated that they were down for maintanance, maybe that broke something with the files... I will see again tonight and if it still exists then upload again or contact them.

Setting up the 501c3

by Steven Edwards

Hello All, Sorry I have kind of droped the ball on this. Vizzini and I were working on setting up a account with etrade bank so that we could pay for the 501c3 filing. I have been distracted by other stuff over the past few months. Once we get the account setup then we can write a check to the laywer and get the legal crap done. I should have the information in from etrade in a few days and can move forward. This has just been my slack and I am sorry. For anyone that has sent in a $50 donation dont worry, your money is still sitting in a paypal account waiting to be move to the real foundation checking account. I would like it if Brian or Rex or someone else in the US that is taking part of the foundation could be on the account also. Thanks Steven PS. I have a new job with a certain Linux company thats going to be eating the my time but will still be helping ReactOS indirectly even. =) Most of my (ReactOS) time in the next few months is only going to be on the legal side of the foundation and with testing ReactOS. I dont think I am going to attempt to do anymore development now that ReactOS has reached a almost usable point. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Installing ReactOS 0.2 RC2 on a 2-disk system with winme, Gentoo Linux and Mandrake Linux already installed

by João Jerónimo Barata de Oliveira

Hello, I'm a GNU/Linux user and, unfortunately, also a windouze user... and I like to use Free Software as soon as possible, so I tried ReactOS! The installation was done successfully... but there are some points that I want to discuss... 1. I haven't access to the floppy drive! I think that I need to change some registry keys for the drive to be accessible... can you explain? 2. I haven't access to the CD-ROM drive too (Sony CD-RW CRX1611) 3. Are the Relatek-based NICs suported? and ADSL Routers attched to them? 4. Can I access my ext3 and ReiserFS partitions from ReactOS? ReactOS is very slow! and is still having many BUGs and shows BSODs many times... In version 0.2 it is normal, but I think it will became more stable in the future...

Translation

by b1t phr34k

Hi I'm willing to help out as much as I can with any part of ReactOS, including translation (beware, I dont have much time on my hands, but I'm willing to use the little time I have on helping ReactOS) I'm not good at spelling or grammar, but I can try. The language I can is Norwegian and English (but I guess you dont need with english) _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

internationalization

by Robert Köpferl

What's happened to our i18n-idea concerning ROS. AFAIK we wanted to not just to localize ROS but to make it multilanguage just like bsd, too. Changing a variable makes programs change their language. This is not foreseen in windows. Is there any API yet?

Ok guys...

by Richard Campbell

Ok, after my slight anger on IRC, i've decided to write a constructive email and post it here. Please note this is my opinion, though others may agree with me. First of all, Martin, let me say i have the utmost respect for you and your work. However, it has come to my attention that the explorer clone is starting to become a mess. It has too many 'features' built in. The compaints i have are: 1) Too many 'ways' to browse a users computer. You have all those buttons at the toolbar, why not just make those features into shell extensions or at the very LEAST compiletime options. Explorer needs only 1 way to browse directories/files. (Which should be whichever way that closely resembles microsoft's windows, and by all means winefile and explorer should be seperate applications.) Among the features that need to go are: The web support, Registry browser, NT Object File System or whatever the hell it's called, The 'shell browser' or whatever it is, The little bar above the Status bar should go. The Interface shouldn't be MDI, as microsoft's is not. 2) The toolbar has nothing useful. The windows explorer toolbar has back, forward, and up buttons for example, to browse the users computer. Our explorer has none of these. 3) The web support needs to go. I don't know what all was done, but web support causes alot of potential vulnerabilities. Just look at microsoft's windows, and even IF it didn't, loading IE/mozilla every time explorer starts is a WASTE. Normally i'd stand back, work on my own explorer clone, but this IS ReactOS, our goal is to clone windows, we need to keep our UI as consistent as possible with microsoft's. If you sit down a user in front of our current explorer, he/she would be most definitely lost. While i would say hide the features, they'd still be there, increasing application size, code complexity, memory requirements, dependencies, and slowing the app down, and this isn't an ideal solution. Solution: I really think we should clone the Windows NT 4.0 explorer, with quicklaunch, but nothing more. Make everything else addins or compiletime options. The interface really should be more similar to the windows version of explorer, with nothing new to confuse users, etc. This will make explorer less buggy and faster, it will also consume less RAM. Currently explorer is even slower then microsoft's own explorer. Granted it is an alpha version, but still, these 'new features' are still getting injected every once and a while, making things even worse, when time/energy would be better spent working on shell32 or fixing bugs/optimizing explorer and code cleanup. Don't get me wrong, i think explorer is great, it's a marvelous piece of work. And my opinion is one of many, but keep in mind i'm not speaking for the supergeeks here, i'm speaking for the power users and regular users, the customer support reps and myself. Take care, and please don't flame me, martin, or anyone else. Richard.
