Default [request] Bootable Linux CD with flashing procedures

I think it would be great if someone could make an ISO that had a bootable linux OS, that already had everything configured to flash SBF files.

Anyone know of one, or can possibly make one?

It actaully only requires two files once you boot into linux. The sbf flash file and the actual phone sbf file itself. I have both on a USB and its really easy. I actually SBF'd 3 times last night because I couldnt get a ROM to work. Heres the instructions I printed out. Post #4 is the one you want to find.

getting your machine setup to do this is really easy. You can do it! All night long! (hour tops :P)
Just burn the ISO and boot up using it. Then like bimmer said it's only two files. It would be over acheiving to create a modified ISO with two files attached.

To clarify this won't alter any existing files or operating systems on the computer using this method?

Right. Instead of booting from your hard drive you're booting from the CD
