I am looking for Windows version of OpenChat IRC Client for years now. I once had it, but I lost it and was never able to find it again. Too bad. OpenChat is the best IRC client ever. :)

really weird, OOo installation does not depend on drive, I'm pretty sure ;-)
Which path did you use on on D: ? file system?

I don't understand the excitement about YUM, RPM or WarpIN or not using them. If it works, we should be happy -- if not, just feed the bugtracker. I don't see any chance to avoid any of them.
My opinion: I see the reasons why porters of ix software switch to a system that eases the dist part. We (I'm more a user then a contributor/developer) should be happy if there's anything new available in these years at all. BTW: RPM/YUM works well for me. I can imagine how much work developers will save themselves by having made that change (from WarpIN or anything else to RPM/YUM).

I seem to recall from a previous yum/rpm discussion on this site that ported software will continue to be offered in zip packages as well as yum/rpm - and that seems to be the case so far. I also seem to recall there was talk of repacking into Warpin packages as well.

As long as that happens then I will continue to use either zip/Warpin packages.
If porters decide to stop supplying zip/Warpin packages then I will have to rethink my choice of operating system.

I'm not sure what you are referring to when you say "I also hate the need to add dozens of paths to LIBPATH" but maybe we just use different software...
I don't think that I currently have any software that includes specific gcc/libc packages - certainly lots that requires gcc/libc packages and they all seem to be working fine. However, I have seen mention in a couple of ngs that some older software requiring libc063.dll does not work with the version supplied with libc064 package. Not sure what software is involved but I either have not used it(those) recently or do not have the(those) package(s) installed.

A simple way of avoiding gcc/libc*.dll hell is to decide to stick all those dll files into 1 directory. On an eCS system that should be [BootDrive]:\ecs\dll and for OS/2 I suggest [BootDrive]:\os2\dll. That directory should be in the LibPath - fairly close to the start of the line.
Quote from: Pete on 2012.01.31, 19:55:18
Another thought: Any time you update gcc/libc dll files you should reboot - just to make sure that the file(s) replaced are not already in memory which will cause problems if you try to run an app requiring the updated file(s).
No, Sorry but I am not convinced of the necessity of yum/rpm at all.

RPM/YUM is a HUGE step backward, and I, for one, will not accept that.

Sorry but I'm not in favour of yum/rpm myself.
Quote from: Pete on 2012.01.31, 16:42:59
Also the only thing that seems to make it difficult to keep track of gcc and libc dll packages is the lack of information provided with the software that requires them.

That little guy was hungry for some OS/2 Kernel. ;D

There are a few motherboards out there without video but all of them come with sound. The sound quality on today's boards are actually very nice and non problematic. Even if you decide to buy a board with on-board video and add a card (Ati X300 or X800 series are good for eCS) the BIOS will default to where the monitor is plugged into. That used to be more of an issue years ago. Windows 7 runs much better with a discrete graphics card in my opinion... however, the new Sandy Bridge CPU's have stunning graphics built into the CPU. Additionally, Blonde Guy has some nice pre-built eCS systems if money is not an issue.

Had exaclty the same problem...
I placed the HOME and the Programs folders on D: but OpenOffice didn't start after I tried to install it to D:\Programs.
Solution:
Install it to C:
e.g. C:\Programs\OpenOffice... that is.
