Having fun with force and ion
mahkeymike:
You dont need to image the entire hard drive to view the contents. You just need to install an ftp server on the host system and connect to the ftp via flashfxp or any other ftp client for windows. Heres is some more fun. ;D

I know I am completely stupid and computer code escapes me but I am just not getting the 'fun' of this thread.
What exactly are we trying to do here...run ION software on a different motherboard?

These are command lines, not exactly what you consider "computer code". Its completely understandable that not many would not find this fun. This is just a way to take control over the system. You would have access to all the contents for you to "peek" at. This isnt going to allow you to use a different motherboard, but is a starting point if you wanted to. The next logical step would be installing a different motherboard you want to use and at the bash shell terminal type: lspci ,this will give you a list of all the pci device id's on that motherboard.

So once you have the device id's of the system board, one could simply swap out/add the appropriate drivers needed for that board and modify the bootloaderconfigfile (dunno what it's name would be) and have the new board supported by the software. Yes?

Sort of. This works for Ion. Force is a bit different. With Ion, you would run lspci to get the id's, then you would edit the config file that contains the whitelisted id's and replace them with the id's you got from running lspci. That will just get you past the invalid motherboard nag screen. You still need to add the correct drivers for the new motherboards pci devices. That can be done easily on Ion using yum.
