Post by Tarq »

Warm and kind regards
What are the options for installing the system as I want to install via flash memory, is it possible ?
I followed this lesson but failed to boot from flash drive where there is an error and screen freezes first process ?

Please be aware that ReactOS is in Alpha so lower your expectations as to what it can do at any time.

If you want to post a useful report, so that people can actually help you, some information regarding your target system and exactly what you were trying to install would be very useful, error messages, pictures &c.

You cannot expect people to assist without the basic information available to them.

Now, what were you trying to install? - am I assume you were trying to install onto a system already running Linux? Your supplied information implies that.

What were you actually trying to achieve?

Let's keep it unambiguous, Please less cut/pastes and more words from your own mouth, anyone that wants to help you needs to have the full picture thought out and explained well.

There are guides on how to raise a useful bug report if that would be of help?

Are you trying bootcd? Better try livecd first and make sure it boots to the desktop, because bootcd is a bit more complex to debug.

Do you think that I am Arabic and easy to understand with the help of a translator
I have provided a brief description of the problem and the specifications of my device
what do you want more
I am a new user from Windows to Linux
I've been out for 6 days and she's asking me to speak clearly
I just want to help by explaining with pictures or videos, away from the language barrier bullshit
As long as everyone wants to help, why not via remote entry or with pictures and video
Please try to understand me
I can't take a screenshot I'm talking from another laptop

I'm trying to understand you
To my understanding, yes, I installed it via a memory stick, not the hard drive. I can not. the devise is not working
My English is weak, please explain in more effective ways with pictures, videos or the like

I don't think we can help you here as you seem to have some language issues and also are unaware how to raise a good problem report. So, to prevent you from becoming frustrated, read this:

https://reactos.org/wiki/A_layman%27s_g ... JIRA_Issue

It may be the language issue so forgive me if I am misinterpreting you. Read the above and it will show you the sort of information you may need to supply.

The other layman's guides may also be able to help.
