Can we install an udpcast image, so I can boot udpcast in many machines using a local image, instead of booting from CD/PXE ?

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)

Thank you so much, it is so easy this way!

Just a problem: I thought I could get a preconfiguration by putting a udpcfg.txt file along with linux and initrd, but it doesn't work, I still get the menu at boot. What is wrong?

Bertrand THOMAS

The udpcfg.txt file goes into initrd, not linux.

The easiest way to get it into the proper place is to use the online configurator at http://udpcast.linux.lu/cast-o-matic

Chose "initrd (for PXE)". Don't be bothered by the "for PXE" label, it can also be used for the hard disk image.

Another way is to not use an udpcfg.txt file at all, but rather supply the parameters on the kernel line, after the name of the kernel.
