Well, I cant give you any first hand reasons as I have not used dosemu since I posted the very first stumbling nt5x-install patches here. To me it seems like the trouble people have with nt5x-install is the old bios geometry and limitations in FAT. When we throw shaky microsoft and 3rdparty drivers into that mix, and we get quite a soup! I dont think dosemu can be killed off before we have the tools to install ntfs partitions. (a nice sideeffect is that ntfs capability will open up for the newer OSs from Ms.) So, can the ntfs tools be added into the current build environment, or is it wise to fix the build system first? All the bits needed have stable versions now (I think), (and Mario has posted something about that here). mvh Nils Olav ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
