The main reason for adding this is to support benchmark off the same CD / USB / PXE image.One Question: In the new build, you mention a boot menu of sorts. How will this affect head-less systems. Currently, I just insert the CD and boot the system. Will the new changes prevent me from doing this? or will there be a time-out / default selection made of nothing is done?
EvilAlchemist wrote:You would need to take the USB stick to another system and delete the backup manually, from memory (I'm currently at work) I think the backup directory is 1,2 etc for each instance. Just remove the whole 1 directory and it will boot up without doing a restore.Also, In ref to USB backup (Which works great) , after the WU complets - any way to have the drive wiped or at least the work folder cleaned. Sometimes, a WU will finish, send and new one download, but will error before hitting 1%, system will hang. So, I reboot system, the backup loads but it is back to 98% and the WU has to complete it again. Any Ideas?

I backed it up to a flash drive, restarted the machine and it promptly downloaded a new work unit and began working. There was no sign of life on the drive until it triggered a timed backup, and that is the only activity I've seen out of it all day, every thirty minutes it backs up, and that's it.
Oh well, I suppose it could be worse...
Thanks again.

As long as either one is specified you should get the credit I think.Q2: If i have passkey enabled on my account, then when i use client without passkey (id and team same)... am i getting the credit or not ? For time being i have set up temp user for without passky operation.

Yes, it's embedded so it will be a rebuild, shouldn't be too bad though, I just need to get an afternoon or evening to do it.

System came up and started folding.
Been using the same cd for the last 3 weeks?
Did the client somehow update??

Since all my boxes are identical .. at least it was not a fluke on one of them.
Good news it look like .....
I also want to know if other users can reproduce this....
If so, gives notfred a little more time to get the update out ...
