[06:16]<sjfrdrwzzryrr>Is it safe to uncleanly shutdown a machine that has no hard drive?
[06:16]<sjfrdrwzzryrr>Or is the clean shutdown for more then just the hard drive?
[06:18]<sjfrdrwzzryrr>Anyone?
[06:21]<pfd2rac>huh
[06:22]<pfd2rac>yuo mean if running off a lvie cd?

[06:22]<pfd2rac>ugh dude
[06:22]<pfd2rac>compact flash to ide adaptor $13
[06:22]<pfd2rac>don't use a floppy :0
[06:22]<sjfrdrwzzryrr>1.2MB is not worth a CF adaptor
[06:23]<pfd2rac>ok :)
[06:23]<sjfrdrwzzryrr>Does anything other then a HDD need a clean shutdown?
[06:23]<pfd2rac>only if the os delays writing
[06:23]<pfd2rac>and buffers in ram
[06:23]<sjfrdrwzzryrr>Read-only floppy :)
[06:23]<pfd2rac>that's the reason hd's need a clean shutdown
[06:23]<pfd2rac>then no you can turn it off any time you like
[06:23]<sjfrdrwzzryrr>The floppy is only even read while the system is booting ;)
[06:23]<pfd2rac>then you can turn it off any time you like
[06:23]<sjfrdrwzzryrr>So a timer plug is ok?
