Can you imagine the "average" windows user being happy to launch fgfs from a command box? ;-) Most of the ones I deal with every day have no idea such a thing exists! FGRun is cross-platform and supplied with the windows binary. I think there is a certain logic in supplying a front end which the user will also find if they are tempted enough by the liveCD to install the windows binary. > > Might be "nice" indeed, but I wouldn't consider it a priority myself. > > Were you considering an option to use a USB memory stick for storing > > extras like downloaded scenery / settings?

I had the idea that some liveCDs these days can automatically search for flash drives and store user data on those if permitted. I've not actually tried that since the only LiveCD I use with any regularity is the Gentoo bootdisk which is handy for rescuing all sorts of trashed setups. Anyway, it's hardly an essential feature and can be ignored for now :-) Cheers, AJ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
