darn, I just tried the livecd and it failed to start on my p4 2.8gz 2gb ram, on which the 0.30 livecd ran fine. it shows the reactos splash, then goes black. I'll try it on my old amd athlon 1.33gz later. you got the installation working SReilly?

Hey Valhalla, sorry about the delay. The girlfriend came buy and demanded we watch "Kill Bill" so no OS fix for me last night. ;-(

I tried installing it running on VirtualPC 2007 but it doesn't boot. The installer runs flawlessly but the system freezes during boot up.

I would have tried it with VMWare abut don't have a version that installs on Vista 64bit.

I'll keep testing and trying.
