Re: 100% Working NimbleX on the WebDT366

Fleegman, hats off to you for the write up and all your hard work.

I have completed the how-to with complete success.

This will open lots of doors.  Having a fully functional boot option without the need of a hub and peripherals makes opening these puppies attainable, for the newb like me.  ;)

Can it be accomplished via Grub?

Here I go again. What we really need to open these units up: Linux on Boot USB with Functioning Touch Panel and virtual Keyboard. Has anyone tried adding Linux as a dual boot?  Can we install grub on the internal IDE-flash, then point it to the CF card containing our Linux partition?  Does the CF sl...

Net Booting, is it possible?

I recently received a WebDT which was an off lease item from Target stores.  Upon booting It seemed to search for the stores wifi at 15% of the boot cycle.

Is it possible to run as a thin client booting from an image on the server?
