The webapp allows selection of images type (floppy, CD, harddisk, and more) and many parameters. When done, it produces a downloadable boot image. The web programming is quite straight forward, just remember to use some kind of session ID. Creation of the image takes a bit more expertise. It may be more work than adding jumpers, but OTOH we save money on each board sold.
I think if the "bootable program" approach is done thus, it is quite user friendly. Most people have at least access to web and a CD burner at work. A drawback is that it's difficult to support non-mainstream architectures. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
