The point is not, what can be done with it NOW, but what can be done with it in the future. At the moment, someone would have to set up Linux, i.e. have a Linux installation on an NFS server. But someone could hack together a ramdisk image that contains the interface, and uses the Linux kernel and DVD/filesystem drivers. So there can be a solution which consists only of a single .DOL, which can rip complete images or DVDs on a file-by-file basis onto an: * NFS * SMB * FTP server, without the need for the creator to implement NFS, SMB or FTP clients. The ramdisk image could even include an FTP server, so that people can use FTP clients on their computer to rip the CDs. Michael Instead of adding it to CVS, to the "official" gclinux patches, why not just provide it as an "add-on" if you will? That way people can choose whether they want to add it or not. - Mike Goggin ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285
