If you have UBCD4DOS then you already have NT Offline Password Recovery, FreeDOS, memtest86 and Darik's Boot & Nuke (not sure if it's useful to include again separately?)..

My question/fear is this. As far as I am aware all of these are all 100% open source GPLed distros especially the Linux ones. Is there anything that I should be aware off before releasing this to the wild? Any copyright trademarks that belong to companies? There is no source code to include, it's all in configuration files.

If you're going to release this, then as a courtesy it may be wise to post your intentions on the various sites e.g. UBCD Forum, System Rescue CD forum etc.

General Software Discussion / Re: Tracking firefox extension (add-on) updates - how?
« on: April 13, 2008, 05:00 AM »
There is an RSS feed for updated extensions here..

It's also possible to disable compatibility checking - if you go to about:config, and set Preference extensions.checkCompatibility to false (it may need to be created if it doesn't exist) you can then install 'incompatible' extensions and manually disable if they really don't work (many work fine for me)..

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: add &fmt=6 or &fmt=18 to all youTube links

You could also use a bookmarklet for this - create a new bookmark as:-
[Select]
javascript:if(top.location.href.indexOf("youtube")!=-1){location.href=top.location.href+"&fmt=18"};
Tested on FF3 & IE7, seems to work for me..

Living Room / Re: Any old Amiga users among us?
« on: December 08, 2007, 07:40 AM »
Thanks for this thread - happy memories! HAM mode to get all the colours onscreen at once etc. :D

I started with an A500, then later bought an A1200 with an 80MB(!) Hard disk. I then upgraded it with a 4MB Blizzard (I think) expansion that also had a faster CPU..  :)

I got it down from the loft last year, and it still managed to get from being switched on to Workbench fully loaded and ready to go in ~10 seconds. How long do our PCs take to boot these days?

I also found some info on networking Amigas - and with a standard laptop PCMCIA card managed to get it hooked up onto my LAN, and then transfer the contents of the hard disk onto my PC (so that I can now have "my" amiga working in WinUAE)  8)

All good fun..  :Thmbsup:
