[ros-general] ReactOS 0.2 RC1

[Marc Schütz]

Update: the installation also hangs with 64M ram, but less frequently

> 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.
