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...

ReactOS 0.2 RC1
by Marc Schütz 18 Jan '04

18 Jan '04

Hi, I have some serious problems with the installer in Bochs (v2.1). I've created a 500M hd image, and started installation from the ISO-Image with 32M ram. The installer created a partition and formatted it without any problems. However, the installation hangs then, usually during "Building the file copy list...", sometimes also later, after having copied about half of the files. With 64M ram, the installation finishes successfully, but after rebooting, freeldr complains about missing "ntoskrnl.exe". Investigation with mtools shows, that during the installation the files are copied onto the harddrive correctly, but after the importing of the registry, they are somehow removed, and explorer.exe and regedit.exe appear directly in c:\reactos instead of bin or system32. bash-2.05b$ mdir c:/ Volume in drive C has no label Volume Serial Number is 742C-29E2 Directory for C:/ REACTOS <DIR> 01-18-2004 14:34 ReactOS freeldr sys 119296 01-15-2004 23:39 freeldr ini 672 01-18-2004 14:39 bootsect old 512 01-18-2004 14:39 4 files 120 480 bytes 402 456 576 bytes free bash-2.05b$ mdir c:/reactos Volume in drive C has no label Volume Serial Number is 742C-29E2 Directory for C:/reactos . <DIR> 01-18-2004 14:34 .. <DIR> 01-18-2004 14:34 system32 <DIR> 01-18-2004 14:34 media <DIR> 01-18-2004 14:34 bin <DIR> 01-18-2004 14:34 5 files 0 bytes 402 456 576 bytes free bash-2.05b$ mdir c:/reactos Volume in drive C has no label Volume Serial Number is 742C-29E2 Directory for C:/reactos explorer exe 884224 01-18-2004 14:37 regedit exe 117721 01-18-2004 14:37 2 files 1 001 945 bytes 402 456 576 bytes free Regards, Marc Schütz

The latest commits fix ALOT of focusing issues, i must say NIIICE. I still can't click browse on the Run dialog without a lockup, nor can i open an explorer window, nore can i navigate the drives in the start menu, but window focusing issues are fixed, and explorer is beginning to act a bit less off the wall. Nice job!
