I haven't tried, but it should : after all, the only important thing is that it manages USB ports correctly to handle the 770 -- and if it boots from one, it should
Also, DSL is one of the images mentioned by those who use VMWare, so...

When I put "sudo root ./flasher --enable-rd-mode --reboot" in terminal, it asks me for a password... I dont see on the forums that anyone else experienced this.. Can someone help me out?

Ah, the problem is you do not enter "sudo root ./flasher --enable-rd-mode --reboot"
with ubuntu you enter "sudo su ./flasher --enable-rd-mode --reboot" so if anyone else is having this problem, there is the fix.

That command is telling your desktop system to run the command "flasher" in the current directory and to run it as root. You'll need to enter your root password for the system.

Hope that helps, if you are still confused provide more detail about your desktop system.

I might be wrong but I think that is the wrong syntax for the chmod command.

chmod 777 blah sets the permissions on the file blah to everyone can do everything (read, write, execute).

chmod +x adds execute ability to all users.

With chmod there are two different syntaxes for the same effect.

djs_tx, normally i run FBSD, but i decided to go step by step with VMWARE/Ubuntu on my Winblows server2003 system. I did all the commands as said in the first part of this thread. I got stuck... and I noticed instructions said to type "sudo root ....", ubuntu was not recognizing that... so I did "sudo su ...blah..." and it worked perfectly, and proceeded to next step as said in the instructions... odd huh! :P

"sudo ...blah..." (rather than "sudo root ...blah..." or "sudo su ...blah...") will also work.
