Who handles the SM hard-drives? Does that person have a distrobution of Linux installed anywhere? I know imaging and unimaging can be done easily with 'dd' but that requires Linux. I'm still trying to get around to a method Thrax has suggested but I need to arse about with Windows first to try that out.
Oh, I didn't mention it before but in addition to all the drive controllers that the kernel supports, I've also put in support for every 10/100/1000/10000 Ethernet controller the kernel supports. Does anyone think it's worth it putting Token Link controler drivers in too?
They could always use a live distro (dsl, for example) to dd the image.
If anyone wants to run FAH from a LiveCD instead of a USB drive (as in my other thread) it's not difficult. Just have someone boot up a USB drive using the zip I made, and use Damn Small Linux's utility to re-package it into a LiveCD.
Can't guarantee that DSL supports all hardware, but it works for me.
It's like my brother says, he's not happy unless he's miserable.
<s>What?!!!
Enverex, I hope you'll reconsider. This was a huge positive step forward for you - don't start going backwards now. </s>
Sorry, all. I was out this afternoon and missed his latest hysterics. It's ironic, but if Folding can find a cure for the sort of mental illness that makes a person lash out at those doing something to better the world, then he will benefit a great deal. :shakehead

I'm sure it'll work. Feel free to use an app like UltraISO to throw a .iso file up to the SM forums for all to use. I'd do it myself, but my FAH-USB key is at work...

That situation can easily be rectified, though.
That was the idea.
I'll dd it then (putting it back onto a drive is just a few words and that's it) and compress it, see how it comes out.
SM_24 runs Gentoo and has been pumping out WUs without any real issue for months now 24/7. Linux + SMx rigs is the way to go.

Yeah, sure, I'll give it a shot.
