good luck, Tom, with your kernel branch. People can see your arguments for doing this very clearly.Hello Bernd,
be prepared to defend yourself against Tom's and Lucho's comments. I
believe it's called "peer review".
in theory - yes.
in praxis - here are the reasons why
you won't see a peer review by me
I started a new branch of the kernel,
I'll not use any arkady kernel for production
I hope you occasionally publicize some patches. Hmm..you use it for DriveSnapshot, which you distribute, so you
would even HAVE TO publicize your branch source code.
I first thought you could keep your own work on the kernel for your own use (and perhaps sometimes publish a patch),
but it's not private use.
anyway, I guess you will continue your improvements based on the CVS kernel or 2035.
strange that you are even continuing working on the FreeDOS kernel, as you sometimes told that the kernel was good enough for your use,
just like Emm386 was good enough for your use already when VCPI wasn't implemented.
LOL!I'll run my own kernel, as I simply trust it more; I've put enough time to make it as stable as it is now. Should it break, it's my fault, noone else to blame; betting on a russian horse is too risky for me.
anyway, config.c is something that I can understand a bit, and which shows most changes to me.
you might want to have a look at Arkady's config.c and see if you can use anything from it for your own kernel.
All other changes to files is something I don't understand/comprehend, so I'm not saying anything about that.
btw, I doubt that even Bart would want to validate the correctness of Arkady's version.
I'm still planning on creating that DriveSnapshot bootcd with ReactOS live-cd and FreeDOS and Isolinux.
(just an experiment, and I can test stability of ReactOS a bit that way)
ReactOS people forgot to visibly put the cd bootsector file on the cd..annoying!
anyway, MKISOFS allows remastering the live-cd properly.

thanks for your email,
Bernd
