Talk:ROSE
From ReactOS
Notification to Collibri
Is Collibri aware of this effort? Are the two of you collaborating? -- Lone Rifle 10:25, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
I've talked with him about my plans with his project, yes. He is however not convinced that NetBSD as a temporary foundation for the installer is the way to go and will continue with his own project. -- Elledan 12:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
- NetBSD is an operating system of its own, why should ROS parts use another OS when We're trying to use NT4? Iyeru 16:17, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
NetBSD will be used until ReactOS is mature enough to support all of the network and other installation options (USB, SATA, SCSI sources). I chose NetBSD in this case because the installer is not a part of the OS itself and I had the opportunity to use production-level software without impacting the ReactOS project in any negative way.
