- Just after initially caching the path to the ReactOS installer, check
whether an unattend.inf file can be found in its directory; otherwise,
fall back to an unattend file in the current ReactOS directory.
- If this unattend.inf file specifies to run an unattended setup
(`UnattendSetupEnabled` value set to `"yes"`), automatically start the
ReactOS installer -- instead of starting the live environment desktop.
- If the user presses Ctrl+Shift+F10 however, disable unattended setup
(suggestion to override the behaviour with a keypress from Whindmar Saksit).
NOTE: in the `WM_INITDIALOG` dialog handlers, use `SendMessageW`
to simulate the button presses. This also allows the invocation
of `EndDialog()` (from the button command handlers) while the
`WM_INITDIALOG` message is handled, so that the USER dialog manager
can then directly close the dialog without showing it first.
CORE-9069, CORE-13525, RELEASE-11
This new BootCD contains the functionality of both the original bootcd
(text-mode 1st-stage installer) and the livecd (that will include the
1st-stage GUI installer later).
Our separate livecd ISOs become obsolete, and this completely removes
the need for the so-called "hybridcd" ISO.
Some details:
- The "hybridcd" build target is completely removed, since now the new
BootCD *is* basically what we used to call "hybridcd".
- The "livecd" build target is kept so far (to minimize the code changes),
but internally I start to refer to it as "LiveImage", and is reduced
to a minimum.
A minimal non-bootable "liveimg.iso" is built (but currently not
included within the BootCD). Its purpose will be to implement the
"ReactOS Live" functionality as a RAMDISK.
(We currently don't support other file formats apart from ISO and
flat disk for a RAMDISK).
The "ReactOS Live" (non-RAMDISK) is implemented by adding to the
BootCD file tree the files from the LiveImage.
These files add two root directories, "Profiles" and "reactos"
(which is the SystemRoot for the non-ramdisk LiveImage).
- The minimal text-mode ReactOS installation used for the 1st-stage
installer, including USETUP itself, and the executable for the
1st-stage GUI installer and the reactos.cab (installation source),
are moved to the root directory called "i386" (ideally, one directory
per architecture).
- The "bootcdregtest" target, i.e. the ISOs we feed our testbots with,
are left untouched, i.e. they are only constituted of the 1st-stage
text-mode installation only, but placed in a per-architecture root
directory ("i386", etc. as for the bootcd).
- Remove the ACPI APIC/SMP entries from bootcd.ini. They will be made
available via the Advanced Boot Options F8 menu in Debug builds, for
testing purposes only, in a subsequent commit.
