[ros-kernel] ReactOS 0.2.1 RC2

[Bernd Blaauw]

  hi,

  some constructive comments, hope I don't have to put them on Bugzilla.
  *Bochs 2.1.1 is out (monthly bugfix release?) instead of 2.1
  *Bochs is slow as hell. Can I change IPS setting (emulated CPU speed)
without recompiling bochs?
  *Bochs shows the  ROS bootup logo, but then corrupts the screen (bochs
image)

  ISO:
  *please put readme.txt and icon.ico in a subdirectory and change
autorun.inf to point to them
  *indeed mentions ReactOS 0.2.1-RC1 Setup
  *"the following limitations apply" -> item 2 -> extended partitions? only
*1* extended partition,
  containing 0 or more logical partitions/volumes.

  the installed ReactOS:
  -first boot: waits for OK button pressed (profile initialisation).
  suggestion: assume OK automatically after 10 seconds, if not OK pressed
yet?
  -not enough memory -> undefined error. (20MB okay, 16MB see screenshot)
  -floppy driver still disabled?
  -ROS explorer: "+" sign even for directories with no subdirectory.
  -ROS explorer: ("Explore" in start menu): clicking My Computer only ONCE
does not result in it being
  selected. The windows (left pane) first needs to be made active by
clicking something in it?
  -ROS explorer: "ReactOS" is printed vertical (the left part of start menu)
but only halfway or so.
  upper part of it is black instead of gray. stretch bitmap?
  -ROS explorer: Shut Down does not work. ATX shutdown/reboot I suppose.
  -ROS explorer: add option "shut down into console mode" (running cmd.exe
in non-GUI mode is faster")

  documentation:
  how to get Vmware driver working.

  There's not much feature-improvement from 0.20 to 0.21, but it works a lot
more stable
  (and thus more usable)

  feel free to commit this mail to ReactOS's bugzilla.

  regards,

  Bernd Blaauw
