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.
This commit is based upon an older SVN one:
svn path=/branches/setup_improvements/; revision=75273
Use a `[Shell]` section with `DefaultThemesOff` and `CustomDefaultThemeFile`
values, specifying respectively whether to use the classic theme or a
custom one, and the complete path to the custom .theme (or .msstyles) file.
These values are compatible with those documented in the
"MS Windows Preinstallation Reference" help file
of the Windows installation CD (DEPLOY.CAB\ref.chm)
[BOOTDATA] bootcd/unattend.inf: Use the Shell/CustomDefaultThemeFile value to specify which theme to use
Instead of messing around with a file in the source tree and risk commiting it
use cmake -DUNATTENDED_BOOTCD=yes to enable it, and use the UNATTENDED_BOOTCD_* cache variables to configure
- Make "ReactOS Server" the default product option again instead of "ReactOS Workstation".
- Write "Service Pack" info onto registry.
- Add ProductOption option to bootcd unattend.inf.
- Delete IDC_PRODUCT_SUITE and IDC_PRODUCT_TYPE controls.
