Hello! This is my first post to this dev list. I really like the progress of
this project! As per your question I have a related question to you; I have
installed Windows Me (yes, the evil one!) and it installed ok, but the
hardware detection wizard locks WinMe up. Also attempting to install the
Super VGA driver like you suggested (too see if I have any better luck) and
it gives me a rundll32 error. So my question to you is: Does the hardware
detection wizard work for you? Does any of the hardware auto-detect (i.e.
network, sound, etc.)? I am curious how much is similar/different between
those two OS's, and I wanted to report a semi-successfull install of
WinMe. ;)
Jason
P.S. This is a great project!! I am really excited about it's future! Also,
I am running the CVS from yesterday (via a CVS ebuild I found from
somewhere. :)
