hi folks:
I bought a thin laptop, so I need an external CDROM to boot it
or reinstall system in the future. I thought since every Desktop has
USB interface and CDROM, it should be possible in theory to run some
sort of server on it, and behave just like a hardware external USB
drive, and we could connect the desktop and laptop with a USB
crossover cable.
I know external CDROM drives are not expensive, but the above idea
sounds very cool. although it's possible to boot and install from
network for Linux, for windows we can't boot from network, so an
emulated USB drive would be more handy.
has anybody heard of some implementations doing this? thanks
thanks
Yang
