I bought eCS 2.1 and have created the installation disc's for it. I will be giving it a try. I am hoping everything goes well too.  8)

Perhaps I might need a newer USB CD drive? If it does not install, I will check that as an option.

I was able to download it from another location but it took a couple of attempts. I was able to create the installation disc's (2) from the .iso's that I downloaded. I will try it at home but I wonder if it has anything to do with the slowness of my Win8 notebook computer.  8) I reported it to Mensys and they replied with an instance report.

General Discussion / Baluga Whale as mascot
« on: November 26, 2013, 05:11:51 pm »

Some nice pictures there, Tommy. Really. I'll add them to my collection.

However... you might decide to reconsider it as a mascot since the Phoenix represents Lucifer.

 :o ???

Heheh.

Perhaps a bit more research should be considered. Though, like I said; "nice pictures"!


  ;)

I have read that the phoenix was brought about by flamingos that fly toward the middle of an acidic lake. When the baby flamingos come away from the middle of the lake to the shore, it seems that they are 'reborn by fire'.

I did not know about the link between the phoenix and lucifer. I learned something new. Thanks.

I like the idea of the beluga whale. It has a smile on its face.  8)

Perhaps one could create it again with lots of information on how it is relevant to not only OS/2 Warp users but also eComStation users?  8)

I agree that it was wrong to mark for deletion just because they don't think "that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject".  >:(

I bought and downloaded eCS 2.1 and will be creating the installation CD's for it. I will attempt to install it on my little computer. I will report with the results.  8)

I have tried the demo CD for eCS 2.2 and it ran really fast on the AAOne.  8) Looking forward to it coming out.

General Discussion / Phoenix bird for the mascot?
« on: November 25, 2013, 03:09:00 pm »
If a mouse is chosen, perhas it could be like the one on the children's show 'Between the Lions'? On the show they had a computer mouse that had features of a real mouse.

I like the phoenix bird the best. It is good since the phoenix bird is born out of fire, it is renewal. It is similar to OS/2 Warp being reborn/renewed in eComStation.  8)

I wonder if one could get a plush phoenix bird?  ;D

There seems to be a spin off of MenuetOS called KolibriOS. It seems it is also written in assembly.

It seems it is small when it comes to recource requirments.
I will also be checking this out.  8)
I think the hummingbird is a neat mascot for it.  :)

General Discussion / How long does it take?
« on: November 22, 2013, 05:44:12 pm »
I bought eComStation 2.1. I received an e-mail that I would get an e-mail with 48 hours for the registration key. This was 11-15-2013. As of 11-21-2013, I have not received anything. How long does it normally take? I sent them an e-mail about it last night and am hoping for a reply.  8)

I think it gives new meaning to 'sleeping with the fishes'.  ::)  I think it would be cool to stay there for a night (can not really afford one night).  8)

I don't have eCS 2.1 yet but I did purchase it recently. I should be downloading and creating the installation disc's soon.  8)

I have created the eCS 2.2 beta demo. I used the option of 'USB boot' in the setup. I was able to run eCS 2.2 on the Acer Aspire One. It was fast. When it comes out, I will purchase that too.  8)

I found a site that has floppy diskettes.  ;D

They also have USB floppy diskette drive.

I downloaded it and it would be neat to try it. Can one create a bootable cd?

There is an installer for Windows. Does it need windows to create a bootable device? Is it installed on a Windows computer? It might be good for my older netbook computers.  8) Now to find an USB diskette drive and diskettes.  ::)

I changed the boot settings to install from USB cd drive. It gets past the errors posted above. It keeps asking for the installation cd.  :'(

I was able to get the eCS 2.2 beta demo cd to run on this netbook (see other post about it).  8)

Like my other notebook computer, it might be best to wait till 2.2 comes out.  8)

I tried installing eCS 2.0 on my netbook and it stopped at the above.  :-\

I will check out the link given in the above post reply.  8)

It was the setting.  ;D It ran on my netbook computer.  8) It is really nice. I tried a couple of programs. They would probably run a little faster once it is installed and not running from the CD drive.  8)
