AutoPatcher is for installing updates AFTER windows is installed - leads to messiness. Whereas hotstream pack integrates into the base install, so you have a clean updated install, right from the start.

Yup, good decision. 2k (with SP4) is your best bet currently. And dos games WILL want win98, so dual-boot. But I dis-like DOS-based OSes since it exposes you to boot-record viruses. I suggest install win98se inside a VMware machine (running on your host win2k OS), and play games from inside it.

for blackcomb? Most likely, not. It will run perfectly well with CRT. Because its a server release unlike longhorn (vista).

here we go.... AGAIN!!!!! EDIT: oops, noticed that zxian already posted this.

Sometimes, reading first post in full, helps!

UT2004 - runs very well on Linux. And many other games too have a linux port available. And to stay with windows, Windows 2000 is the default choice, if you dont want XP. Win98 is out of the consideration, it crashes too much under the pressure of modern games.

Happened to me too.Probably it happened because I have AcroRead v6.x installed and it was removed during v7 setup. I agree. Every single KB makes a difference, on my multi-boot uA disc.

IRC, yes i know.... The problem is it leaves us with very little control - except for just a mere op that can stay in the room. Whereas, webchat is far more powerful - if you have doubts, then take a look at the topic i linked to, in first post. If a tracker DOES get setup, it would cater to even the other projects quoted there.... It might as well be used for everything! Because trackers doesn't really use much bandwidth, and many of the projects have the files hosted on msfn server - so on the whole, we would see a reduction in bandwidth used.

This project now has its own forum! Thanks xper For any other specific topics, start a new topic. You could continue the general posts in this thread.

ohnoes!!!!!111~~~

* topic moved to hardware hangout

Well, probably java VM is growing in popularity again now. Coz you cannot stay away from it, if u are into.... Azureus !!!!!

Just got these 2 ideas.... One was about the chatroom which most members seem to want - LINK. The chatroom could be setup at - http://www.msfn.org/chat (or something like that) Everybody is waiting! The other idea, was about having a torrent tracker for MSFN downloads - only *IF* possible. The tracker would be fantastic! Because that way, MSFN does not need to host any downloadable files - just the tracker alone, thats all. So very less bandwidth will be used! A single seeder will have a file on his HDD initially, and then it spreads to the other leechers, identified via the tracker. If desired, access control could be implemented, so that only members can make use of the tracker, to prevent flooding of it. Almost 90% of the members on this board do use torrents & have clients to access that protocol, so its not a problem. Moreover, we would then be the first mainstream forum, to use torrent trackers for member projects. I thought of this torrent idea, after seeing this topic - win2k hotstream If we did setup a tracker, then all of our numerous msfn project files, can get distributed more easily! It will be legitimate, since we wont allow illegal torrents. There's so many of our members' projects that are not able to distributed due to their large size. One that comes to mind, is of course, the Win2k hotstream - unofficial SP5. Of course, other files too could benefit from a move to torrents: ryanVM post-SP2 update pack XPize nLite etc.

I vote for torrent tracker. Super-seed it a while, & then let the leechers share bits among themselves thereafter. I have been in a venture like this before - it cut our server's bandwidth usage massively. From 40 gig a day, to 3 gigs! So yes, its worth it. EDIT: crawl out of the darkness and VOTE - link

Ah, thanks oldwolf, thats interesting! I'm still on the lookout for cheats!

Yes, true - the "add reply" button is gone, in the "fast reply" javascript box. And spellchecker is also looking ugly Also, the upgrade has reset the favicon for the site - the globe icon has gone & default Invision icon stayed.
