Why would i use an NT kernel with a KDE GUI? NT kernel and NT GUI go together. In fact most users will take Reactos for it's future compatibility with windows executables. So i suppose these windows programs not only need an NT kernel but also an NT compatible GUI. On the other hand linux programs, ...

Well. I had tried "mingw32-make clean" from within current directory "/svn/trunk/reactos" because "make clean" is standard in unix/linux make. It did not work with my "mingw32-make" in RosBE build environment. (?) Error messages like following for all tree branches. .../... mingw32-make: [welcome_cl...

My problem: i have a local SVN tree copy which i synchronize from time to time "head revision" with the SVN server. Unfortunately some weeks ago, being short of diskspace, i deleted the "export tree" and since compile directly in the SVN trunk ... which i know i should not have done (mea culpa). Que...

Can you please tell me which command or gcc optional parameter shows me the version info of the installed gcc?

Hi, here i am again with some news... i have looked at the driver source "blue.c" and changed the value "0x17", supposed to be the colour parameter for the VGA grafic card in 16 colour mode. High-order byte for background, low byte for forground (writing). But with an alternative value (lets say 0x5...

well i know it's not easy, but as i say, i don't hesitate to change it in a program source if necessary...

Fan of personalized desktop i would like to know how - i can change the reactos desktop colour, or other desktop colours, knowing that the properties menu is still missing, and that i may need to tamper the registry or recompile a source... :) - similar question for the "blue screen" boot / shutdown...

I would appreciate advice in a problem with the "open file"-dialog and the "save-as"-dialog: Double-clicking the left button of the mouse does not act as usual in windows, it does nothing. :shock: So i cannot open a listed file by doubleclicking, but must write manually the name. And even worse i ca...

>Is there a file called bootsect.ros or do ihave to make one by hand? There is no pre-made bootsect.ros you can use on the fly. Normally one could think that the first 512 bytes of fat32.bin were one, but it did not work. When i tried to copy bytes 1-512 into the "bootsect.ros", the partition got de...

I think it would be easier to do recover in command-line, isn't it? One could imagine sort of a "reactos single user console" or "reactos command line console" for special actions like recovery, backup, restore, registry repair or optimizing... The probable advantage is that command line works with ...

I have just answered in another thread how i installed reactos from sources due to unsolved problems (multiple primary partitions) with the bootcd.

Maybe that can help you. Caution: the manual boot setup is rather complicate.

As you describe the problem and the symptoms of the free, i ask if you have more than one primary partition, or if your active primary partition is NTFS (XP or Win2000) I had similar experiences: Actually reactos can only be installed on a primary FAT16 or FAT32, not on NTFS. Moreover the ISO instal...

Concerning my question about ext2, and your answer:

Can you tell me pls how to mount an "ext2" partiton, in Reactos?

And is it also possible to mount an "ntfs" partition with the ntfs driver existing now, READ-ONLY of course?

a) file, directory and device protection by either ACL's similar to Windows, or by users+groups if that is more simple to implement in a ReiserFS (?) b) network security. For me that means Reactos should either become compatible with common personal firewalls, once network part ready, or Reactos cou...

I compiled, built and set up reactos from sources recent build 16371. When rebooting the upset reactos, freeldr always stops on an error "Language Default setting exists, but isn't readable", and i do not manage to start reactos. This message is issued by the "reactos.c" module of freeldr. Looks as ...
