Hi
The images created by the udpcast website do not support USB keyboards on
the iMacs (Intel). I had to recompile the kernel and make the USB drivers
part of the kernel (not loadable modules).
Initially I disabled loadable modulels but I will go back when I get time to
make the USB keyboard and any dependencies static and send the updated
config.

I had the same problem some time ago, and the reason is that the module
for the USB controller is disabled in udpcast's kernels.
To support all USB controllers, you need uhci-hcd, ohci-hcd and ehci-hcd
and one of these (IIRC ohci-hcd) is disabled in udpcast's kernel.
Building the module is not enough: you also have to modify the rcS
script to load the additional usb driver. Of course building it into the
kernel, like you did, works around that particular problem.
This problem is not limited to Apple systems: we had the same problem
with HP Compaq 8100 systems, they also need that particular module, so I
guess lots of recent USB chipsets need this.

regular g4l process. The dd compressed images could then be sent using
udp-sender and multiple machines could receive and decompress them. Now
the program has options to directly send disk or partitions.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to Intel Mac machines, so only have heard
it works. I've also used it on a few machines with USB keyboards.
Working on the next version, and just added the new kernels that came out
from kernel.org.

I discounted g4l initially because I did not think it would stream a senders
drive without making an image first. Does it allow you to setup a sender
and use multicast to send the drive image directly?
