/me makes EmuandCo notices that it is precisely what jedi-to-be used for his last picture... :P

Nope, you did not what I wanted you to. Use DBG ISOs. REL is useless in output matters.

BTW, do we have dual-purpose boot&install CD's yet?

I always thought that was a shortcoming on ROS' part - which shouldn't be that hard to get right, for a dev (we already have one and the other, after all). It is rather apparent that a lot of 'ordinary' people wanting to test it out, would try the live-cd version first. But, IF they like it, they would rather install it from that live-CD as well: I don't think there is much sense in making them download yet another ROS-ISO just to install it.

No Webbunny, there are currently no boot+live (aka. hybrid) cd downloadable. The reason is basically the following, that for devs and people who want to quickly regress-test things, it is faster to download just a bootcd than a hybrid cd (especially if you don't have fast internet), mainly because currently live cd contents is not a ram disk image mounted, but just the files organized as they would be on your hdd, but on the cd (--> no compression etc...). It does not mean that making a hybrid cd is not feasible (eg. the cds given at the yearly Chemnitzer Linux Tage are hybrid cds).
Maybe this current state would be reconsidered as soon as we get a proper ramdisk image support in ReactOS (working driver and working things in the kernel), that we do not have currently. For that (/me looks at all the people in the forums): "Patches are welcome (tm)" :)

Hehe. Nice one, hbelu. Subtle. I see you've read viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13250&start=45#p110259 ;-). Truth be told, I only noticed on second read. But, as said, I don't mind. :D

Now, ok. Basically, what you're saying is, that it's easier for the devs not too use such a CD. And that it would be easier if it could be ramdisk image mounted. Very well. No doubt that's true.

But that doesn't change what I said, does it? I mean, whether or not it's easier for devs, my point was, that it's easier for users, certainly the 'ordinary' kind, to have a live+install CD. So, while I can understand your argument, it's only valid from a strict (limited) personal perspective (=theirs). However, being devs and wanting to promote ROS (at least, I would presume) it's not only what they themselves fancy, but what users would like as well. At least, that's what one would expect from people that have a wider and deeper goal than just having it easy themselves, when using ROS. So...I'm all for your appeal for patches and what not, but the argument thou brings forth is rather egocentric in nature. If they want to (better) promote ROS, they should make a hybrid CD, whether or not they personally would use it (imho). Since, apparently, we do(?) have one each year..I guess nothing excludes making it a bit more up-to-date. I dunno: a quarterly updated distribution?

Btw, hbel, don't forget to vote on the wallpapers!

Interesting... please provide us a Jira Report with that information. That's indeed a interesting problem... Did you try to install with without ACPI HAL?
