Got it!

You guys have gotten way off target.


Will this OS run with drivers given by manufacturers on their cd's or downloaded off the internet ? Xp and 2k ?

I don't understand something here. I thought ROS could run windows drivers.

Why do we need write drivers for this OS ?

You would think all these independent OS' would solve the problem of lack of drivers. Lack of drivers is killer in adoption. Porting X drivers ?

It's terrible that we reinvent the wheel all the time with NEW operating systems

It's a damn waste.

We need alternative to X for desktop. I know there is some progress with directfb.

Why not use DirectFB's drivers ?

How about X windows or directfb ?

I have an emachine with intel extreme graphics 3d.

Would it not be great if somehow there was some software that could speed up the process to reverse engineer all the windows drivers. Excellent link on how difficult. These are USB driver examples. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7353 http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/archives/2005/08/reverse-en...

3rd comment from top.

That does suck.

Thanks for the information !

I didn't know a filesystem was so difficult to code ?

I am just looking for some compatibility , not great speed or for it to be used as primary file system.

I hope there can be some hack that can work. The link I posted earlier is NTFS for linux .l

Sorry about double post. What about this project ?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-ntfs/

I can't believe there is no work around . There must be an answer.

The lack of support kills compatibility with XP.

How difficult would this be ? Is the project above compatible with licensing?

Why no NTFS priority ?

It would be F-ing HUGE !

I didn't know that. Never seen it mentioned on their site.

They would mention that because they don't want any copied versions used. It's a precaution to stop license infringers.

Why couldn't react be used ?
