This thought came to me this morning. It only needs to be C:\windriver because that is the directory the updater looks for, correct? What if I installed everything on an 8GB flash drive or portable HDD and then used WINE under Knoppix to do the update? That way, I could mount the dirve as C:\ (I think, I've never gotten around to playing with WINE). Has anyone gotten this stuff to work with WINE?

There's a thread elsewhere on CD discussing running the programming software on Linux (called something along the lines of "Anyone install WindRiver on Linux yet?") -- I've successfully run the redistributable version of Wind River's cross-compiler through Wine (so far I've built the example code shipped with the compiler as well as WPIlib, but haven't had the chance to do further tests than that) and another user has run the compiler executables shipped with Workbench through Wine as well.
If you're comfortable mucking around with Makefiles that's probably the easiest option; you can also create a standard GCC project in Eclipse and change the settings to use the proper executables and flags for building for VxWorks, but it's quite tedious.
