I hope this doesn't come across as a rant, but at times ReactOS seems to be the perfect cure for low blood pressure...
1) Does it have a working partition/format program once installed? I'm running it as a QEMU VM. *THE INSTALL PROCESS* can take a raw virtual drive, and create a primary partition and format it. I can't seem to find that functionality inside the installed ReactOS. The only way I could figure out to partition and format virtual "drive D:" was to attach it to a linux VM boot, and run fdisk and mkfs.fat from linux to prepare it, and exit. Then boot under ReactOS, which now sees a partitioned and FAT-formatted drive. 2) *WHERE* is the Wine IE executable located? This is as a last resort, but it's nice to know. 3) *WHERE* does Wine IE stash files that it downloads? There is no indication anywhere on its menus. I can't find anything resembling "Edit->Preferences". And while we're at it, could the people who do ReactOS docs *PLEASE* specify that "debug.log" default directory is C:\ReactOS. It took me a while to find it. Merely saying that there's a "debug.log" file somewhere, in some directory on the system, is *NOT* good enough. 4) I finally managed to turn off nagging at bootup for, "New Hardware Wizard" has found a Bus Controller. It can't find the driver locally, and, no I don't have a driver for it. I had to click "Cancel" on the dialogue 3 times, because it came back after the first 2 cancels... *EVERY TIME I BOOTED UP***. Out of sheer desparation... * I told it to install * It failed and came back with the same dialogue, but with a "Don't ask me again" checkbox, which I eagerly checked off. * I had to repeat this 3 times. Now no more nagging from the "New Hardware Wizard about the Bus Controller driver. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> _______________________________________________ Ros-general mailing list Ros-general@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-general
