Vadikan Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Hopefully my sarcasm doesn't make it to the guide Yeah, make sure you replace all RTFM and STFW with the blanks before publishing the pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 STFW? I know STFU....but now STFW. lolso far, none of that has made it, probally because I'm writing the manual they're supposed to be read.....now wouldn't that be one of the most annoying books? You're reading a section, then it says to read the same section because you didn't read it. Talk about a paradox and an infinite loop. Kinda like looking up definitions in the dictionary....gotta look up hundreds of words just to understand the word you were looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 anyone know some good PHP/MySQL sites to quickly learn? ay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Another Idea I had a while ago, but forgot:A Setup Timeline Picture!Im still confused/ignorant of when nlite goes to work, bashrats driverpacks, hotfixes, and runonceex. I'm sure it would be helpful if we had a graphical representation of this.I know nothing about PHP, but I googled this: http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 ummm....I personally like the idea of, if you don't know when a program does it's thing, then ask the author....No offense. nLite, if it still uses the INF file, i believe runs at about T-13 or so, as for the DriverPacks, depending on how they're constructed maybe around the sametime as RyanVM's pack or entries are jsut added and they're present at time of Driver installation (perhaps DetachedProgram).

Tsunami Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Some sites where you can learn and find examples:PHPhttp://www.w3schools.com/phphttp://www.php.nethttp://www.phpbuilder.comhttp://www.phpfreaks.comSQLhttp://www.w3schools.com/sqlI'll see if I can find some more, because the other PHP sites I have are Dutch...Basic PHP & MySQL isn't that hard to learn, but it's basically finding examples and trying out yourself. I'm not an expert at both PHP and MySQL, but I know the basics (and I'm a quick learner ), so if you want any help, just send me a PM or something.

prathapml Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Grrrr.... I see one more post like this after the new guide is out, and I will explode!linkAin't it already clear enough to them! Please have this (or something similar) included in the guide:The presence of winnt.sif by itself removes ability to repair/recovery console and add MassStorage drivers.If you want to use repair, use your non-unattended CD (i.e., slip-streamed with the latest SP, but no winnt.sif).

Alanoll Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 I'm gonna be putting a FAQ on site (there already is one, but larger)Start linking to topics that should be included? I means things like the repair thing above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Start linking to topics that should be included?I don't quite understand what you mean...The link to topic, which I gave above, was just a example of the sort of things that drive the forum-regulars to madness - since the same question comes in once a week atleast. Just adding that info (which I pointed to above) in the guide (where exactly to add, is up to you) will be sufficient, /me thinks. I'll keep my eyes peeled for other frequent irritants, and post them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTDDesktop Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 All the tutorials and guides are great, can't wait for the updates to customize my installations more. Thanks Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 @prathapmlWell, link to the discussion, or tell me the question and answer or something along those lines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xper Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 I'd like to see a slip-stream guide like Paul Thurrott's. Incidentally, he's not patented the method (sarcastic) - its certainly public knowledge. So having the same thing modified (with credits, if so desired) and put in the guide should not cause any problems.Back by popular demand.Create Win XP CD Slipstreamed with SP2 - Nero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadikan Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 A minor design addition... I think it'd be nice to have "last updated (or last modified) <date>" on every page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
