Okay, so I received a Block Erupter today. I bought it because I like being an active part of the network, and that I can now do so without killing a GPU in the process.  No delusions that I'll earn back the cost.

I've been using GPUMiner with my videocard until now, and moving over to BFGMiner, I *don't* want the program to utilize my GPU *and* the Block Erupter - only the latter.

Is there something on the command line to do that?

Or -G does it too.

You'll also want -S erupter:all - uses the proper driver then.

@HellDiverUK just wanted to say thanks. Have read about 10 guides, yours is the first to mention that. Cheers!

Edit: Also, just realised this was only my second ever post, in god knows how long. Lurk over... haha.
