Hello Alain
First let me thanks you for this not enough known but great application (it allows me to save a laptop hard drive where commercial product like Acronis just fails and open source g4u didn't recognize the network card).
I'm considering using this product to save special configurations with PXE. I successfully tested it with the linux24 precompiled kernel (the linux26 fails to detect my USB keyboard). To avoid the menu options witch will be the same accross my network I tried to use the documented keywords like those described in http://www.udpcast.linux.lu/current/bootloader.html in the default file after the append keyword( append initrd=initrd disk=/dev/hda umode=snd auto=yes). I read a previous post that says that only the first 6 parameter are taken into account. Here it just doesnt't work. Do you know if it's a kernel configuration problem ? Is there a workaround (for example putting those parameters in a another configuration file) to avoid the menus ?
A few words about an added feature I would like to have :
I would like to have several process waiting on my linux server ready to backup several hosts in their owns "file.img". That implies at least two things :
The possibility to generate a unique file name for each different client (One approach would be to send the mac address from the client and to use it with a time stamp on the server).
The possibility for the receiver to be split in a daemon part that never quits and a child process to be spawned for each client. For that part maybe it could be easier to use in the middle an http server and a cgi script.
Do you think it's doable and what would be the difficulty to implement it ?
Thanks for your feedback.
Bernard.
