Centralized imaging system
by Alexandru Juncu 11 Jul '10

11 Jul '10

Hello. I am student of Computer Science and this semester I am doing a project for my degree based on UDPCast. I am also a teaching assistant I have been using UDPCast in all our lab room where we have our courses. What we do now is install an image on a computer in a room, an then copy the harddrive/partition over multicast. The thing is that we want a server that would hold many images with version history. What my project has to to is allow the unicast copy of a computer image to this server, and then, when needed, using a client that would activate UDPCast on the server as a sender and using normal UDPCast as receiver on the rest of the computers. This is the basic idea, and should be rather simple, but I would really appreciate the help anyone can give. My questions until now: 1) Is the source for the Custom udpcast boot media configurator available? 2) Can i set up the server to multicast from a file?

Hi, Sumit: 0) Thanks for the snapshot of the Command Line Windows. This is the environment that I have been working with. Yours does look different. 1) However, instead of just typing "udp-sender" as MS-DOS mode command to start the process as you did, the proper syntax on the Sender side should be "udp-sender -f kenya.doc", where "kenya.doc" is the file that you are attempting to send, based on what I can decipher from the latter part of your snapshot. 2) I do not understand why the text string "udp-sender -f kenya.doc" shows up between the "Broadcasting ..." and the "New connection .." messages. Did you input this articular string at certain point of the process? For sure, "kenya.doc" sounds like a custom file name controlled by you. Neither MS-DOS nor udp-sender.exe could have dreamed up with this on their own. 3) According to the operation conventions that I have been observing, the 192.168.100.72 is the IP address of the intended receiving PC, correct? What did you see on the screen of the receiving PC? 4) The "read: Not enough space" message is somewhat deceiving, because it also shows up when no filename is specified. 5) By the way, the udp-sender for my experiments is running on a WinXP PC with the same [Version 5.1.2600] MS-DOS mode. 6) Another thing. It seems that I can not receive your reply eMails. So far, I only see other colleague's Mails commenting on your eMails to me. This "relay" type of phenomenon is a bit strange. So, if I am not responding to your eMail in the future (My discipline is within 24 hours.), it may be caused by this phenomenon. (If you do "Reply All" to my eMail, I should get two copies of your messages, one direct and one through udpcast reflector. It is fine with me.)

Cast-o-matic and BNX2
by Fourie Joubert 09 May '10

Hi Everyone When using the bnx2 network module, the system complains that it can't get the firmware (specifically bnx2/bnx2-mips-09-5.0.0.j3.fw). I've have a copy of the firmware, but can't find a way to get it to the right place in the web-o-matic initrd. Any advice in overcoming this would be much appreciated. Kindest regards!
