Hi all,

The image that isn't....

Here's my solution to how to run the new 7020-software on the 7000, using e.g. a USB stick to compensate for the lack of internal flash in the 7000. Using the attached software, I'm currently running the pre-release "image" for the 7020 on my 7000 from flash and USB. I haven't run it long enough to comment how stable it is, but I would be surprised and impressed if I don't find some (more) bugs as I keep experimenting. BTW, the included software also allows me to run Hydra Zeus in parallell with the 7020 image, I just have to change a line in a config file to switch between them. Not quite as cool as FlashWizard, but then FlashWizard doesn't allow me to run software for a machine that isn't even released yet :-) My third partition on the USB is currently free, while the fourth is used for swap.

Please read attached README's for more info. The small attachment contains just the README/INSTALL files plus a copy of the important shell scripts from miniroot. It's suitable for those who just want to get an overview of what this is all about. The large attachment contains everything (including the READMEs).

I do *not* intend to update this package as the pre-release 7020 software gets closer to actual release. Do it yourself if that's what you want, or wait for the real image makers. This is just a proof-of-concept, my answer to the up-coming problem of how 7000 owners can take advantage of the software that will be developed for the new series of machines, and how we can avoid (at least for a little while) being left behind by all developers flocking to the bright, shiny, exciting world of the new software development environment. The new cdk really *is* a big step forward.

Run and install it if you want, but please read all the warnings first.

Last minute warning: After I flashed miniroot, I can't seem to get dreamUp to work anymore. I have absolutely no idea what could cause this, it just doesn't make sense. It could be related to the image, or it could be something entirely different. You've been warned...
