I am between jobs, and considering the odd mix of my skills, I was thinkling of making a CD mini-disk with examples of HTML, Excel, Word, etc., to help me stand out from the other drones.
1) I would like to figure out how to make a self-booting ROM that would run a HTML file on bootup. Any ideas?
2) I think it may be done through Flash. Is there any way to learn simple Flash programming without spending $99 on a professional editor?
Thanks in advance to the wise folks in here!
I'm sure there are FReepers out there with much better ideas too.
Good luck.
Look into using PHP. Flash is not "well recieved" in the OpenSource community.
Places where you might find ShelExec useful are in adding an Autorun.inf file to your CD-R / CD-RW Discs. For example suppose you have a HTML page called index.htm on the root of your CD which you would like to run automatically whenever the user inserts the CD.
