nice!

Pasci - I can help you out with testing the autorun program, but I only have access to WinXP and Vista.

Anyone here have access to Win9X?

hmmm..maybe using virtual pc of microsoft would help out...
but where to get win9X, hahahaha :P

I have tried with VM Ware... but LFS don't start within (missing 3D support).

Well, if there are so few people that run win9X that nobody is available to test it, does anyone really care whether or not it works?

If it works on XP it should work on win2K also. Assuming those two work, i'd say you've covered about 95% of your audience.

How is this project progressing? I ask bacause I think it would be a cool thing to be able to hand out at the EAS show in Vienna (see here) to raise yet more awareness of LFS (and of course Cyberseat, but I doubt many people will be buying on to play racing games on at home).

If this is usable, then it would be even better if the CD could be printed, but I don't have CD printing facilities. Is this something someone else could help with?

Even if I just burn 100 copies onto CD's with no label it'd be better than nothing.

Now I'm testing the setups/autorun. All setups are done. So I think, at the end of this week or at beginning of the next week the first release should be done and will published.

Now I'm fixing some little uninstall bugs for the Live for Speed-Setup.

But today, I will upload/publish the ISO file. The size of the image will be 545 MB (uncompressed)!

RAR: 5086 KB smaller (normal compression) (will be uploaded)
ZIP: 3327 KB smaller (normal compression)
7Zip: 632 KB smaller (normal compression)

You don't need WinRAR to uncompress the archiv. I'm using FilZip (it's free).

Know but still unfixed bugs:

Movie player
At the moment I can't locate the problem (movies are playing - I hear sound - but see no picture; if I skip to the next movie and go back, I hear sound and see also the picture). All movies are in Windows Media Player Format. But I don't know which codecs are used. If have tried on a clean WinXP installation with all Updates (still Media Player 9). wmp.dll is needed/player is based on. Works also with Media Player 10. Older: I don't know!

Ghostcar Uninstall
I'm going crazy! The menu link to the readme file will not deleted while uninstall. I don't no why.

All other parts of the CD (should be) work fine. I have installed all tools and mods (without DeserMod/SnowMod). Needs up to 558 MB harddisc space.

But please: be patient - The upload take also I while!


I will create a new thread for questions, problems and of course the download links to the iso file - asap.

As someone who works on installation routine for a living I would say that a true uninstall should remove all files, folders, shortcuts, and registry keys. But if there is the possibility of an re-install or an upgrade you have three options.

1) Do nothing remove the config file along with the rest of the application.
2) Prompt for back up of the config files so the user has access to them if they choose to re-install or upgrade.
3) Automatically back up the config files for the user and let them how where there are in a message box.

Personally I would go for option 2 and give the user the ability to specify where the backups should be created.

once finished, please add the iso torrent to big torrent places, like torrentspy.com , mininova.org , piratebay.org etc etc.
so it can spread more

With an re-install no config file will be overwritten! If an config file (for which app ever) exist, this file while be skipped.

Be all setups the uninstall remove folders, shortcuts and registry keys correctly. Only the Ghostcar uninstall doesn't. I think, I will recreate the setup file again later.

I did not plan this CD as a luxury version. The installation of LFS should be as simple as possible.

GP4Flo and I will host the image on our servers. If someone wants to distribute the ISO as a Torrent, this stands it free.

To answer the poll question, both. The user should have the option to use either method of removal.

Hi

Ive noticed you choose some 'random' movies to your cd, wich 2 of them are mine (DF.1and2)

I just want to say that, dont you think it would be better to make a special selection of wich videos will be in this cd, and, i can make a few special videos, a more 'neutral' videos, whitout being of anyone in particular, neither me, like a promo movie showing togheter the most active lfs communitys around the globe, same for teams,could be a video whit the cooperation of the lfs torque drift community...im sure most people would agree,and quite small but high quality.

My last video is "traction zero: we are back' if you want to check my work.

if want to talk, add [email protected]

Quite true that.
