Options for installing Driver Station on Classmate

[stephmak]

Hi Everyone:

Is there an option for a online download of the National Instruments disk that came with the KOP without purchasing an external USB? Obviously the Classmate does not have a USB DVD drive and I am trying to install the Driver Station on the Classmate. Is their some other option besides me buying a DVD drive? I can attempt to clone the disc with my personal laptop, but that would be a last option for us.

Thanks!

Just copy the DVD contents onto a USB stick.

Or you could reimage the classmate: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...image-download

Cool, thanks. Was not sure if NI had put copyright restrictions/encryptions on the DVD.


EDIT: after re reading your post, it appears that the Classmate image on my USB drive did not have the Driver Station on it....unless I am missing--it is there a specific link for it anywhere in the Start Menu?

Sorry for my "noobness"!!
