<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Goal ==<br />
<br />
Enable autodetection of [[SoaS]] flash drives on [[SoaS-helper]] machines. (SoaS-helper was described in detail in [http://luke.faraone.cc/2009/04/soass-new-friends-in-development/ this blog post])<br />
<br />
Ideally, the '''''S'''oas '''D'''esktop '''M'''anager'' should:<br />
* Start on boot when a -helper machine loads<br />
* Provide a helpful and simple user interface<br />
* Detect all versions of SoaS drives and update them if outdated<br />
* Handle failures gracefully<br />
* Prepare the system enviornment to allow the user to continue where they left off<br />
<br />
== Detection tools ==<br />
Since we lack a better heuristic, we will attempt to use the following criteria for our definition of a SoaS disk:<br />
* The device is a removable media, such as SD, USB-flash, or MMC<br />
* The device is FAT formatted<br />
* The device contains a magic-file (to-be-determined) which identifies it as a SoaS disk<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this requires us to mount each candidate disk inserted into the computer, which slows reaction time. <br />
