Thanks,

Sorry, try post #5839. That is definitely a link to a mirror for kitchen 4.6.4a.

Good point of clarification. Most of the time I use BePe's latest basic rom kitchen and as you're certainly aware, the xip is broken out like the SYS and OEM, so modifying boot_ms.rgu is as simple and straightforward as modifying an rgu from a SYS or OEM package. In this context it's (the updated rgu in the xip) baked into the rom, just as any of the other SYS or OEM packages.

As you're clarifying, this isn't the case with most of the other kitchens so creating an OEM or editing a SYS package to contain these settings would be pointless. It would be baked into the rom, but superceeded by whatever is tucked away in boot_ms.rgu in the xip.

Best regards,

If it's anything like the way the Windows 7 beta is going, there are separate development branches, with different numbering systems... so a release with a lower version number can be newer/better.

Also there are a couple hacked/fake ones that somebody attached version numbers to as well...

So it does get a little confusing, but I'm sure Calc has tested them both and is including the one that works best.

Error with new kitchen... missing os.nb.payload from rom folder... even though it seems to be there...

Can anyone help me on that one?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Everything is working out fine for me.
What are you trying to do, just build the ROM?

Yeah.

Everything I touch today seems to be breaking.
