superleiw Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 thats some crazy s*** dudewell i guess you reached your goal
gdogg Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) yeh, if i could get a virus now, it wont be from any executable file, cause i must add a dependant in the same directory as a .exe for it to runeven to edit a .bat or .cmdso im pleased, only thing that will still work, for the next 2 days, will be a .bat or .cmd that could erase my drivethen ill remove cmd.exand that wont happen either, but im not done yet, just gonna give myself 2 days break, since tommarrow, my cousin coming over, and im gonna fix him up, and then wednesday for gaming and testing something i want to, and then thursday out to get a dvd burner then im going to reduce firefox and winamp and everything else i can get my hands onsry for rambling, but i really needed it, without weekends i'd never talk to anyone , lol Edited August 16, 2005 by gdogg

gdogg Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 (edited) i guess you had something to say, but dont worry, i never saw itanyway, you make stand alone appz, (purpuse being so if they get infected it doesn't infect system files that are shared amung the computer)the whole purpose of this, was to make it so no program (virus included) would install unless i added things that all .exe's depend on to the same directory as the thing im trying to install (or back into windows, which would ruin the whole point of this xp i made)most programs work, only one so far that didn't was perfect disk, but that was due to something i removed earlier, and if anyone can tell me file PD uses, i'll greatly appreciate it, if not, ill figure it out myself in a weekexample of stand alone appwarcraft 3 uses, directx 8, being as its the only directx game on my computer, no need to clog my first partion which is windows only, (fastest part of HD) with DX8 filesso i copy the 2 need files (that war3 would complain about when starting , to the war3 directorythen, i do the same for files like winspool.drv , (to acess the net in that app)then i got an app, that uses directx8 , when windows itself doesn't have dx8 anymore Edited August 16, 2005 by gdogg
Clint Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Well I'll be.. Now I understand that somewhat cryptic signature of yours..lol!Man, that is reall small...do you get this to install by itself or?
gdogg Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 nope not yet, honestly, this is all after you install every program and driver, and setup everything you'd need to do in control panel and stuff, as when you've done this to it, theres no going back, lolbut in the end, i think ill do it with a batch file next timei broke it , trying to mess with config dir yesterday, and ive fixed it and improved all in 4 hours today, batch file next time thats for sure
Clint Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 ok, i see...that is actually not bad thinking at all...My goal with this was initially to squeeze that OS into a CF card and then use it in plane/car/boat...and those environments are actually quite static when it comes to the OS and applications...so why not strip the whole package instead of just the OS?
gdogg Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 yeh, i plan on stripping out the programs soon too, cause im sick of the size of my program files now , lol
