Ho, Ho, Ho! The retard once again comes to show his igorance!
2. - package system on slackware that doesnt resolve dependencies...
- well if you had any type of intelligence you would be able to view the README/INSTALL/HOWTO documentation as you compile from source instead of just doing your full 4gb install of suse/redhat.
a packaging system forces you to install dependencies that ARENT ALWAYS NEEDED. it wastes hard disk space ..... kind of like how windows does.
First, they're called dependencies for a reason -- you need them. However, you are also correct in the fact that a lot of package management systems like to install a lot of crap they don't need. But this is where your ignorance truely shines you dumbfuck I stated I use Gentoo, incase you didn't know (moron) Gentoo uses the portage system. If you were to type the command: emerge -pv gnome-light
you'd get a list of everything that it's going to install --- woah, wait a minute, it's trying to install arts and kde-base because kde-base is a dependancy?
USE="-arts" emerge gnome-light
yaaaay, no more arts and KDE-base, you fucking retard!
Do you have a response for that Capt Hotshot? or are you just going to ignore it?
I'm not going to bother responding to anything else because apparently you're only able to focus on one point in a post
EVERYBODY STFU
The whole point of the thread was to show off an interesting way of using XP, not argue about window managers. So let's get back on topic.
Anyway, do you seriously expect someone to use progman as their primary shell? Sure, it's a cool idea at first, but after a while...eh. Starts to get annoying. Also, you can't minimize to icon, because it appears that the minimize-to-icon code from 3.x was replaced with minimize-to-mini-titlebar.
Not really, its just an unmoderated environment. If it went to the poasting of kiddy pr0n id start deleting it, but insulting others doesnt have to be deleted ;p
im happy with it, all the functionality is still there, the operating system does what it needs to.....
I wish you were a little further along, I'd love to
have it if I didn't have to build it. I'd like some
way to switch back and forth and some way to
have it boot up to it or not. I'd love to see
someone's face if they booted up my computer
while I wasn't there. Does it read NTFS?
Oh, you shouldn't mess with inflated egos,
there's nothing to gain.
Yep, pretty much. I can see people using that if they REALLY want performance. No offense, but why would you upgrade to XP if the performance is bad enough to have to run like that? I got XP mainly for the sexy look (which I replaced with the patch uxtheme lol).
You could go further. Windows 3.51 has 32-bit cardfile.exe, pbrush.exe, pifedit.exe, and Windows 4.0 has winfile.exe. All of these work well under Windows XP. The pifedit.exe actually edits the NT style pif edit files.
Write.exe from any version seems to be win3.1 16-bit stuff.
Too bad 98 has tons of bluescreens hidden around every corner and in every nook and cranny, which is why the 9.x kernel was dropped for the NT kernel which is FAR more stable.
Well, they would have gotten rid of it soon. I guess ME tried to push 15 year old software too far. It's like expecting a 286 to run Counter-Strike. But I think Microsoft could have held back a bit on the stuff in Me. There must have been something (other than poor coding) that killed it.

PS: I miss Q.
Currently he is deeply involved in college work..... therefore doesnt use the computer much.
it's just XP with program manager as the shell and some 3.x skin
Write.exe from any version seems to be win3.1 16-bit stuff.

MS got rid of it for a reason.
