Due to iRex's current difficulity, I am quite worried about iDS for iLiad. If iDS goes down, we iLiad users can't get shell access right or keep our firmware up-to-date after reflashing our iLiad.
It is possible to survive without iDS. The solution I am using is to create a bootable CF and backup all files on my iLiad. If my iLiad fails, I just use the bootable CF to start my iLiad and copy the required system files back to my iLiad. Then my iLiad will be working again. No more reflashing or iDS is needed.
