i was thinking...
do you think it's possible to install a linux distro on our athena's flashdrive and then use it to boot on our pc using a usb cable?
with the help of some apps like usbsetting or wm5torage, the pc will think that our athena is just like any other flashdrive.
there are many linux distro now that can be installed into fat32-formatted flashdrives.
if this is possible, then it'll be like carrying a set of swissarmy knife on our athena for recovery purposes.
let me know what you guys think.
ciao!

if nobody had any experience on installing linux on athena's memorycard (or microdrive), then that might leave me no choice but to be the first one to try it :(
the default drive that USBSetting (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361050) (which i am using because wm5torage isn't working for me) is the microdrive. i would want to change it to use the memorycard instead, so that it'll be easier to repair just in case anything happened.
if this become successful, my athena would be an ultimate repair/recovery tool for pc's :)
