Can we install an udpcast image, so I can boot udpcast in many machines using a local image, instead of booting from CD/PXE ? Thanks in advance. Please reply to this address, i'm not on the list (I will be if I have to :) ) Thanks again.
Hi,
There's an easy way. I use the following GRUB entry to boot UDPcast from GRUB:
title UDPcast root (hd0,3) kernel /memdisk.bin initrd /udpflop.img
udpflop.img is a floppy image of UDPcast. memdisk.bin is what I use to "launch" udpflop.img. I don't remember how I got that file, but you can just Google for it.
Best regards, Henrique Rodrigues
Why not load udpcast directly rather than play russian dolls by pretending to boot a floppy? Just point GRUB's kernel and initrd parameters _directly_ to the kernel and udpcast ramdisk: title UDPcast root (hd0,3) kernel /linux initrd /initrd Where vmlinux.bin is the kernel (as downloaded from http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/linux) and initrd is the udpcast ram disk (as downloaded from http://udpcast.linux.lu/current/initrd) Alain
