Re: [ros-dev] Bulk ordering USB flash drives for exhibitions - call to action
If you note, neither options (USB boot vs ISO) are mutually exclusive. You can include both an ISO image inside the USB pendisk for the comfort of VM/CD boot and still keep the pendisk ready for direct boot as test. 1Gb pendisks (as minimum storage nowadays) permits this and much more. Would be nice to include QEMU to run permit end-users see ReactOS in action with just a click and reduce the number of steps/knowledge required to start the OS. With kind regards,Nuno Brito 05.01.2015, 15:20, "Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo" :---1!!! Absolutely no!

As an aside it would be an occasion to try to see whether we couldn't test some kind of USB boot ramdisk thing. -Message d'origine- De : Ros-dev [mailto:ros-dev-boun...@reactos.org] De la part de Colin Finck Envoyé : lundi 5 janvier 2015 15:10 À : ReactOS Development List Objet : [ros-dev] Bulk ordering USB flash drives for exhibitions - call to action Hi all, As more and more computers these days come without optical drives, we're thinking about switching from ReactOS CD giveaways to USB flash drive giveaways on exhibitions (like this month's FOSDEM). ReactOS would then come preinstalled in a VM on these drives. When ReactOS' USB support gets better, we may even think about making these drives bootable. Now the prices for 1GB USB drives haven't quite reached the costs of blank CDs yet. Also many countries put a high fee on USB drives, because you will for sure always use them to pirate copyrighted work... For example, we're talking about a fee of 1€/unit here in Germany. Germany is fair enough though to not apply the fee if you're ordering from outside Germany. Maybe this also works the other way round, i.e. we as ReactOS Deutschland e.V. order USB drives from another European country and don't have to pay this fee. Sooo, who of you knows a good supplier in your (European) country for bulk ordering USB drives with the best per-unit price? Even better if your supplier can print a custom logo on these drives. Depending on the price, we're talking about 50-200 drives here.

Why?
Can you please stop commenting out code without further explanations?
Either you comment out (better doing so with #if 0, for the record) and
you explain why you do so alongside in the code, for next developers
coming into the code, or you don't comment out.
So, just don't answer here, just commit an explanation ;-).
Cheers,
