Bought a Netbook for field service. Printing and SMB are a breeze, but couldn't install SFU. Tried to use Wine. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

Wine sounds scary, especially for something as bizarre as SFU. You might look into loading WinXP inside Virtualbox, and then you could use IBVERUP as well.

Do you need it for testing old machines?

If SMB is a breeze, then why use SFU?? Scan via SMB is best anyway. Wine supports recognized major distribution , not piddley ass things like SFU.

Thanks, I will check out VirtualBox, my netbook has the USB boot option, but I don't know if XP (I use TinyXP) will boot from an external CDROM or thumbdrive.

I need SFU to troubleshoot older machines, "Here it works on my laptop so it's your issue" kinda situation...

You'd have to use wine in conjunction with something else - can't remember what it's called. It lets you set up drive letters for use in wine. I think you'd have to use the desktop version (service mode would probably be a problem) - with that you may be able to use UNC paths.
