*Two new icons have been added to the desktop, one leading to a supplemental driver installer that simply installs drivers made for [[Windows XP]] that aren't ready to work on this build yet, while the other is a document talking about Avalon and Indigo. | *Two new icons have been added to the desktop, one leading to a supplemental driver installer that simply installs drivers made for [[Windows XP]] that aren't ready to work on this build yet, while the other is a document talking about Avalon and Indigo. | ||

* <code>winldfw.efi</code> and <code>winnvram.efi</code> were added in the x86 compile for EFI booting. To use it, partition the hard drive as MBR, with a FAT32 C: partition for EFI boot, and a NTFS D: partition for Windows, both primary partitions, and install the build in BIOS mode to D: as normal. After that, switch to EFI mode, and execute <code>fs0:\boot\winnvram.efi fs0:\boot\winldfw.efi blk2:\WINDOWS\ "Windows Longhorn" "/NOEXECUTE=OPTIN"</code> in an EFI shell to create a boot entry in the EFI boot manager, then try to boot into it.<ref>https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=443999</ref> If it fails, you may need to change the <code>blk2:</code> identifier to point to your Windows install. | |||

*Although this build can partition as intended during setup, the partitioning page doesn't refresh properly, requiring you to reboot your system in order to see the new partition. | *Although this build can partition as intended during setup, the partitioning page doesn't refresh properly, requiring you to reboot your system in order to see the new partition. | ||
