Actually, you can flash the linksys box from Linux. (I have not tried using WINE or cxoffice). They use the tftp protocol. The problem is the password validation. I played with it a while ago, and there were several solutions posted. The other reason for me to keep ME as a dual boot is when diagnosing a cable modem issue. The customer service driods want a direct connection to a WIndows Machine. On 5 Jun 2002 at 11:00, Brian Durant wrote:
That is actually very irritating. If I could get what I need of programs to run with Crossover Office (in my case) I would simply dish my Win 2k boot partition. When Linksys routers are otherwise platform agnostic with a web setup interface, why can't someone at Linksys develop a flash upgrade that will work with Lin, or at least Crossover Office? Isn't possible to do this in Java? I believe Mac users have the same problem with the flash upgrades.
