Isn't there a bootable disk image like this available? It's not that hard to make one although the process could certainly be simplified. It would be nice if we had a utility to distribute along side the disk image, which would take care of a couple things. 1) writing the image to the disk/flash device and 2) resizing the FAT partition to fit the available space (so that only one disk image would need to be distributed rather than various differently sized ones) I never ran the installer for FD myself. I just formatted a 2GB CF card, manually copied the FD files to it, and then ran some utility which created an FD boot sector (I'm not sure what environment I had to be in to run this utility... it may have been Win98) and of course edited the fdconfig.sys (or whatever it's called... this happened years ago.) Since I boot Win2K/XP from FAT32, I also have the ability to put FD right on the C: partition and add it to my BOOT.INI as an option. This needs a little juggling of boot sectors to accomplish though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
