From 1b52f0753db81d43efee8f112c764230e1c64c56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Herm=C3=A8s=20B=C3=A9lusca-Ma=C3=AFto?= Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 20:59:48 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Reword the download.html page, removing mentions of deprecated LiveCD (#138) ReactOS commit https://github.com/reactos/reactos/commit/b2e33f26eb3230c1a1535b6ea2833b0bb1ad128b removed the separate livecd artifact, merging it with the bootcd. Rename also "bootcd" to "Installation Medium", since it's more generic (e.g. the ISO can be flashed onto an USB thumb drive). The text of the download.html page is reworded to explain what the "Installation Medium" does. --- content/download.html | 13 ++++++++----- static/js/download.js | 7 +------ 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/content/download.html b/content/download.html index f35c3f78..02e2f469 100644 --- a/content/download.html +++ b/content/download.html @@ -14,12 +14,15 @@

Please note, that ReactOS is still in alpha and gives no guarantee of stability, safety of your files or working at all.

What does the Installation Medium offer?
