=============================================================================== FlashWizard PRO History - coded by MusicBob =============================================================================== Release 5.

0 PRO 09/02/2005 - Support for images installed on NFS mount, you can install and start multiboot images from your Windows PC (or Linux PC)!! A NFS server is required running on the PC side (I strongly suggest Microsoft Se rvices For Unix 3.5 for Win XP PRO and Win 2K). You can install images wherever you want, on USB and/or HDD and/or NFS. - Added compatibility with images for DB 500 and DB 56xx They are automatically recognized and installed, just drag&drop as ever. Now FlashWizard is full compatible with DB 7000, DB 56xx and DB 500 images. These can be installed either in flash and multiboot (on NFS server). - Added Advanced SmartCopy A powerful option that allows to full copy a list of file and/or folders from th e active image to the new one being installed. As for SmartSettings, it is full working also with images that have a compressed /var folder at install time. WARNING_1: be careful with this option, use wildcards in filenames only if you a ctually know what you are doing. WARNING_2: To avoid image malfunction, do not try to copy special dir/files (lik e /var/etc/init) between images developed by different Teams: every developer us e these files to configure their images in a different way each one from the oth ers. If you're not an advanced user, limit the use of Advanced SmartCopy to plugins f iles and other useful addons ;-) - New FlashWizard bootmenu (v1.4): automount NFS device at boot; display which devices are connected (USB-HDD-NFS); display where is installed the currently selected image (USB-HDD-NFS); - If NFS server is down, FW will automatically boot-up from other available imag es, or from flash image. - various improvements and fixes.

===============================================================================

Release 4.5 PRO 30/11/2004 - Added SmartSettings copy option Automatically initializes and set new multiboot installed images (and backups) w ith all your usual system settings (favourites, channels, all antenna's paramete rs, lnbs and motor configuration, video, language, etc..) The SmartCopy is a powerful option that analyzes the new installed image or back up, and copies to it only the compatible configuration settings, in a smart way, generating no compatibility issues at all even between different images develop ed by different Teams.

And works also on images with compressed /var folder!!! - Added Logo picture (bild) change/add capability for multiboot images. - Added clipboard copy-paste buttons for SmartTelnet window (also with keyboard shortcuts: CTRL-C and CTRL-V) - SmartTelnet window is now wider than standard telnet clients, much more confor table. - Some minor fixes - Deutsch locale + help files included (Thanks to Lapidis - http://www.dreambox. info) - Turkish locale included (Thanks to Sanchooo187 - http://www.dreambox.info) - Dutch locale included (Thanks to eric2905 - http://www.dreambox.info)
