Grake Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 MSFN's Unattended XP CD - Drivers via CDUnder the heading "Prepare Windows source files" it has the following:In the Run box, type:expand C:\XPCD\SETUP.EX_ C:\XPCD\SETUPORG.EXEChange C:\XPCD to the path of your Windows Setup Source.Ofcourse according to my knowledge, there is no setup.ex_ file in the XPCD, but in the I386 directory. also you have to create the setuporg.exe file in the I386 directory also. Just a little thing in the site, that messed me up for some time. I think it's an error, if it isn't please enlighten me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Yeah, it's a typo...i've been putting off fixing it for sometime now, as I've been working on making the site MySQL based rather then static HTML. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 May I make one suggestion?Have a thread (sticky perhaps) dedicated to typos and errors in the Guide so that people can report them as needed in one place. I would also help those reading the present version to look for any errata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Done! This be the thread.All others posting to this thread...I figure it's time to update the site regardless of whether the PHP is done or not. I've received MANY PMs over the months the current revision has been up, and I'm not sure what happened to them I would like any typos or suggestions posted to this thread. I DON'T want ANY posts asking how to do something. I'm not really looking for stuff to add yet, but if you want feel free to comment WITH A LINK to what you're referring to.

Fascix Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) In the guides regtweak section you say it will be coming soon maby a good idea would be to add some links to the forums Registry Tweaks threads in the meanwhile?

erik_demon Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I agree and maybe the same can be done for the "applications database" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best I can do is TRY and make the rest of the site standards compliant, but i doubt that will make a difference.You may want to bring this issue up in the Opera forums and see what they can recommend. As I don't have Opera, i can't test it during development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubar Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 i have now mentioned it in opera forums and they mentions something about iframes. so hopefully they wil fix the issue as its rather annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is identical to choosing to drive a car that requires regular fuel and complaining about how there are no gas stations around to sell you gas. I'm only saying something because I know the moderators aren't going to. Let them design the site the way they see fit, and if you have rendering issues, switch to the de-facto standard.

I'm sorry, but I can't rephrase that.In other news, seems like the site renders fine for me in my Opera (it's 7.x, as I never use it, I don't upgrade ).

TheeBeets Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I think in some sections such as themes you could keep it simple. Tell them to open notepad and save a filename with the .theme extension and provide a template of a theme layout document. Also post some image's in the tutorials and more than anything keep it simple and straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would i change it to the template form and have people write in their own paths?There are images in almost every page and it is almost as simple as it can be made. Any examples of where it's not? Simply saying it's not simple just tells me that nothing is wrong since you don't provide any example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 SVCPACK.INF Method (the old method)http://unattended.msfn.org/beginner/hotfix/svcpack.htmAs I understand, qchain.exe is no longer required for post SP2 (or even some pre-SP2) hotfixes - please clarify.One suggestion for the printed pdf - would be useful to have page numbers for printing out.

It's just simpler to use the program as all it does is add a few seconds to your install time.As for the PDF, i'll look into it, but if you notice, the PDF is simply the website printed in PDF form so I'll have to check on how to add page numbers. You should be able when printing to add a footer or something with page numbers i thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
