As usual a great job on this, sorry i did not help much with testing this time. Have had a look at last beta and it was pretty much brilliant so no comments needed.
As usual thanks again. Last edited by clusteruk on 03-Feb-2011 at 03:24 PM.

| PCPlus latest top en alternative OS include
1. Haiku
2. ReactOS
3. AROS/ICAROS
4. OpenBSD
Given the alternatives, AROS is doing really well indeed.

| Please, after downloading, try installing it if your hardware is supported, and use it for some times. I know we are still half of the road to a real every-day's operating enviroment, but we need testers, many testers and over all people able to fix issues and suggest solutions, to make this a viable alternative.
For instance, I am trying to install Reactos on Bochs provided with the distribution, but I haven't succeeded in yet. I can't do everything by myself and people already helping me already have their areas of interest to improve, a regular job and a family, just like me. So the more people help me, the better this distribution will get. Last edited by paolone on 04-Feb-2011 at 01:57 PM.

| I tried running it in native mode but ended up with a 640x480 4bitplane screen :/
My laptop is using Intel GMA X3100 chipset.
Vesa legacy mode seems ok though.
EDIT: crap, tried installing it on an USBdrive and of course it seems to have overwritten my bootpartition, well i was warned.. but annoying anyway. Last edited by fryguy on 05-Feb-2011 at 01:30 PM.

I presume you mean the boot partition on your internal HD rather than one on your USB drive. |

X3100 is not a GMA 950 chip. So it's not supported by Intel GMA 900 driver. You should use VESA modes instead.
What boot partition has been overwritten? on what device? are you sure you have choosen the USBSCSI device during installation? |
