cause all the useless stuff is taken out.
only the stuff u need to run 3dmark etc isit except ofc 3dmark itself.

Google for multiboot ;)

Google for multiboot ;)

LOL I know how to multiboot..
I told it was a stupid question cause maybe somehow multiboot with XS OS isnt available.. everything clear now. thanx.

NN could you tell the preliminary performance increase ?

[Repoman]

Yeah very nice server, thought my connection maxed at ~680KB/s but apparently goes up to 727 :D

Anyway I am going to wait until I get my new 320GB hdd to test this out (don't wanna mess around with my regular windows install and it's media partition).

[alexio]

I have a question for nn :)

You know you can set priority of processes in taskmanager from low to realtime.

These values can be expressed as decimal code, where low being 4 and realtime being 24, and all others inbetween that. However it is possible to set priority through dos from 0 upto 31. This is a fairly ineffecient way of doing it, in other words, not nice when you're overclocking to the max

Is it possible maybe to make a small program or modify the taskmanager to be able to set priority anything from 0 to 31? I'd like to see the effect of setting some (os)processes to very low and the benchmark program to 31 for example.

[Repoman]

I don't think it would help at all. Even setting spi, etc to realtime doesn't change or can even increase the time, I remember some tests on it a while back. Just leave everything on normal for best results, windows does a pretty decent job managing that stuff

Well, I installed it after formatting a partition...
p5w screen pops up, then:
windows cannot boot because the missing file is either missing or corrupted:
<windows root>\system\hal.dll
or
<windows root>\system32\hal.dll

eh i dont remember which one, but i'm sure you know which folder it is.


well actually, when i check my computer, it shows that my drive hasn't been formatted at all!

im gonna format w/partitionmagic now then re-install and see wtfhappened!!!




if there's a new thread for V2.0 feedback, please let me know!

Installsize is 125MB, but what are HDD size req before install? I have 1GB HDD laying around, but even these small "XP's" ask atleast ~1.3GB HDD size iirc.

It doesn't work in VMWare, Virtual PC or notebooks.

Problems with ACPI or something...

Yes it can..but with restricted functionality...if u just game, watch movies, download, bench and use the internet i think it should do ok.
Bad thing i cant use it with virtual pc...i would like to test it before i really install it.

[Ubermann]

Try hit F5 and choose ACPI Multiprocessor PC or ACPI Uniprocessor PC.

[Thorry]

Weird, maybe it's different for different laptops..

Just installed it on a test rig, it runs pretty good but benches aren't faster as under Windows XP SP2 installed before.

Also: Please put in a quick format, the formatting was a real pain to wait for it...

You can put it on a 2GB partition and format the rest under Windows. Use the other partition for your program files.

[Magnj]

well im running off my primary disk with an XP install now. I plan to put XSOS, a new XP install and Linux install on the new-unformated 320 gig disk. What your saying is I can make a 2 gig partition for XSOS and then install programs to a sepearte partition?

[alexio]

What your saying is I can make a 2 gig partition for XSOS and then install programs to a sepearte partition?
Sure, why wouldn't that be possible? I install programs often on other partitions then the one I boot from.

[Magnj]

Ok now one more question =). Lets say I install 3dmark on XS OS to the common drive...lets say X. Then later on I install 3dmark on my second XP install, if I try to install them both to X is Windows going to throw a :banana::banana::banana::banana: fit?

I would just make a new program files folder on the X-drive. You can also just remove the 3dmark folder on the X-drive and install the program in the location you've just removed, the files should be the same, but now the registry values of 3dmark are included in the registry of both OS'.

Do I make any sense at all? :D

Not so much. =p

Well I just installed XS OS on a 2 gig partition and it seems to be going fine. I tried running programs from my other drive (my original XP install) and they ran. Does this mean I could just install stuff 1 time and then run it from a common Partition?

Provided the OS or App knows where to look for all the dependencies, like .dlls

[mursaat]

You can use the same folder to install in both OSes.

I usually create a partition in a 2nd HDD, that I always assign D:\Programs

I install everything there, apart from Office, Antivirus, Nero. So if you want to install 3dmark for each os, use that folder for both.

But that's a reorganization when fully formating, if you already have a Xp and XS OS, you can use X:\Program Files\3dmark for both, and everything will go fine.

And usually, programs that don't copy dlls to c:\windows\system32 like BSPlayer, ATI Tray Tools, ATITool, FlashFXP, Firefox, Winrar, Rivatuner, etc can be used without install, only making a shortcut. If they have to write anything on the registry they will "on demand" :)

For further OS Installing and tweaking you can always read my guide at DFI-Street (hope hot-linking other friendly forums is not forbidden):

[nn_step]

ummm I would not suggest putting it on a flash drive.. This version with it's required page file. WOuld burn out your flash drive

[Thrilla]

Alrighty, moved it onto my USB 980MB HDD :P


AHHHH while transfering files, I dropped a CD on the portable 2.5" HDD.... it's gone...

[safan80]

any chance of an x64 version so I can try this on my machine that uses 2.5TB of hard drive space.

[nn_step]

yes we are planning on working on an x86_64 version shortly.

[Death^Dread]

what size hard drive or partition would you recommend for this?
For just the operating system and page file, that is.

I too install all programs (though, including office) to a different hard drive than the OS is on.

I extremely recently lost my installation of XP (long story) and the CD (which I would use to repair the installation) has a long crack through it (also, long story). This would be great to hold me off until I get my new system (with which I will get a new copy of xp as well anyway). So yes, I legally own a copy of XP.

[nn_step]

2Gb should be more than large enough

[Revv23]

so is anyone running this as thier everyday OS?

Im sick of my bloated OS, and ive used XSOS for benching and i like it, but i need all office applications, printing, oblivion, UT04, xf-i applications and tv tuner support.

I should be OK?

[nn_step]

well for office applications and a few extra, check out http://portableapps.com/
All will work flawlessly

[Thrilla]

Portableapps.com is t3h 1337 :D I can use so many of my favorite applications at school lol, they only use IE and outlook... and no msn/gaim, muhahaha, they should make a portable css too ;)

[happyhero]

Only took me 32 minutes to install no option for quick format for some reason. after it installed it went into windows fine. but as soon as i installed my Motherboard drivers and rebooted it BSOD'd everytime.


system specs are:
E6600
P5B deluxe
7950GX2
74GB raptor

[nn_step]

as for the Quick format problem, we are working to correct that.
As for your BSOD, are you SURE that you are not installing while overclocked?

[happyhero]

As for your BSOD, are you SURE that you are not installing while overclocked?yes i did how would that affect my install. I was runnin at 3.2GHz

[nn_step]

Your Overclock isn't completely stable probably and that is what is Causing the BSOD

[happyhero]

Your Overclock isn't completely stable probably and that is what is Causing the BSODtrust me when i say my overclock is stable. It was a X6800 not the E6600 that was in my computer don't know what i was thinking. I can get 4GHZ orthos stable.

Here is the problem step by step.

1. Boot and installed at stock cpu speed restarted computer.
2. Installed Chipset drivers and restarted computer.
3. Installed network drivers and restarted computer.
4. Went to Bios and added my RAID storage set and when booting windows BSOD'd again.
5. Unpluged storage raid and restarted and still BSOD

So it seems that adding raid after install is a bad thing as it currupts the boot.ini

[nn_step]

are you using onboard raid or a raid card?

[happyhero]

are you using onboard raid or a raid card?onboard raid.

For people looking to de-bloat XP, I'd recommend following this handy XS guide (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=117488). I ran XPY and XP-AntiSpy, along with XP-Lite, and I'd swear I was running Windows 2000 again.

[FghtinIrshNvrDi]

I had a question about image file support. I noticed in XSOS v2 that microsoft paint only supported a certain type of file format. Will this be the case on version 3? Or are we counting on it being a little more diverse in those features?

Microsoft Office... What are the odds of that working?

Ryan

[Fr3ak]

Paint in Win2k is limited to those few file formats, so I guess it should be fine with XSOS 3. IF its not, you can still install paint.net.

actually yes you can, but you need to install a firewall/anti-virus/anti-spyware and maintain drivers like any other OS. However it doesn't support SLi/Crossfire and a handful of poorly made programs do no install. And I would advise you install gaim/trillion instead of AIM

[gdogg]

@dirt

hey, I have only tried 2.02 is that the same as 2.0?

I am asking you dirt cause we go back.

(and yah, I made it smaller lol)

[dirtwarrior]

gdogg man oh man it is good to hear from you. Its like dear old friends meeting again. But yeah 2.02 is a little different. 2.0 I couldnt get it to install. How is microwinx going?
Hey I just redid my puter but nothing dramatic, a different case and a bigger HD. But most of it is the same inside.
How much smaller did you get it?
Have you talked to clint? He is somewhere on here from time to time. With an OS size matters a little (smaller is better) but a more efecient OS. Less comitt. Remember when I didnt know what that ment and you and clint held my hand and fed me info on an OS. So it is good to have good friends and even better to catch up with old friends.
We go back a long time. Hey can you pop in at Bold Fortune forum he needs some cheering up. Let me know how its going with the windows 2000 mods (the best OS ever) well this is my opinion, all it needs is a little sprucing up to modernize it and some good shrinking.
My offer is still good about coming to kentucky if you want to.
Good to hear from you my friend.

yup, I kept it on topic somewhat, asking about , well, I'll leave it.

anyway, thanks, PM in use now, didn't want to go pm him, to find out it wasn't him.

Yah, I tried to get this to install on a usb key, wasn't easy, needed to find some missing files, still didn't work out, think i'll have to do it on my own to get a small 2k on a usb key.

or has anyone made a method of getting this on a usb key?

the method for getting it onto a USB has not been perfected. However SATA and IDE Flash drives it has been perfected

[dirtwarrior]

I think he's talking about the "Commit Charge" at the bottom of the task manager.

Catalyst Control Center uses a lot of memory, so disable that.
How do I disable control center? It is using about 3.5 mb of ram.

[DFI pit bull]

So how do I actually download this? Keep getting a screen that says "XSOS isn't done, have a nice day". Been trying for weeks.

[billdavis]

wait till it is out

[DFI pit bull]

wait till it is out


Ok thanks, what about the previous version then? please.

[Jamesrt2004]

PM NN =] Hes the man to talk to in this :) if not

Google.com is your friend :D

This thread should be locked since XS OS version 2 is no longer available or supported.

[zabomb4163]

nn_step discontinued XSOS project?

[Okda]

no 3 beta is under development

[safan80]

nn_step discontinued XSOS project?

no but you can't download version 2 at the moment because of work on version three and the fact version 2 is out of date (things like no timezone updates and no work is being done on version 2 anymore)

[nn_step]

nn_step discontinued XSOS project?

XSOS is still under development. V3 is under closed development but you can help out V4 development by going over and helping out GNU. It isn't going to be under the name XSOS because GNU is attempting to make it their personal project and I have no problem with that.

Does that mean version 4 is going to turn into what GNU hurd is... not worth anything? ;)

[nn_step]

I'd say it has potential and it features some innovative things ;)

[DFI pit bull]

So I can't download any XSOS? what a bummer.:(

What's the eta on V3?

[bardz]

xsos 2.0.x.x is just windows 2000 with about 99% taken out...

[Okda]

and ur statement is based on what ?

[RealTelstar]

I'm planning to put win2000 sp4 on my old notebook. Would XSOS2 be lighter (on ram and cpu mostly)?

[HiJon89]

Is there a PayPal account people can send money to support development?

And I'm sure this has been answered a million times, but is this slimmed down OS meant for full-time use or just for benching?

[littleowl]

the os is made for the people that crunch for wcg and other DC projects

[Okda]

no my frined

XSOS v2 and even V3 was made to replace windows XP and in the future to include DX10 and replace vista

[littleowl]

yes my friend it is for people like me that have not money to give M$ and still be able to use our systems. But what made the idea was crunching. That is NN's main reason in making these OS's

[Okda]

didn't know that the main reason was crunching, maybe i haven't bee watching XSOS far back enough :)

[phelan1777]

I think there was liek 3 versions, one based off of XP for benching/OCing/WCG

1 based off of W2K3

someone PM NN, its his baby.

[littleowl]

he wanted to make an os that was none bloated and would let the software we want to run, run faster and better without all the crap running like M$ gives us.

The reason for the making it for crunching is because every thing running in the background kills our crunch time. slows us down. we want 100&#37; cpu cycles on our crunching and with M$ we don't get that because every so often it has to check the other stuff that is running.
If I am wrong with what I am saying NN please correct me!

[HiJon89]

Sounds good, once V3 is released I'll be putting it on my laptop for optimum battery life :D

[littleowl]

HiJon you should come up and crunch with us. :) it is a lot of fun!

[HiJon89]

Next year I'm going off to college and I'll be jammed into a tiny dorm room with no air conditioning so my rig is gonna be off as much as possible :D

[littleowl]

That is not for a few months! :p: Come up and join us till then. Every little bit helps!!!

[HiJon89]

Well as of right now the only computer I have is the one at work I post from every day (I've put up at least 50 posts today from my job, I get paid to do nothing :D ) I'm waiting for 8800GTX prices to hit $350 so I can finish my desktop build and I'm waiting for the MSI MS1057 to come in stock so I can finish my laptop build :mad:

[Okda]

Sounds good, once V3 is released I'll be putting it on my laptop for optimum battery life :D

AFAIK nn_step stopped development on the V3 :(

[HiJon89]

AFAIK nn_step stopped development on the V3 :(
Well... is V4 on it's way??? :(

[Okda]

i don't think so at all , since V3 was in early beta testing

hope nn_step will give us some info about his future plans

[nn_step]

AFAIK nn_step stopped development on the V3 :(

XSOS V3 development hasn't stopped. But you have to remember that Because of the complexity it is gonna take some time....

[Okda]

glad to know that

thanks for the info

[Deux]

Is there anywhere that I can get an older version? This sounds like a cool project.

[L33T]
