g4u 2.3 has been released
* g4u 2.3 has been released
This release of the harddisk image cloning software g4u 2.3 includes updated
drivers based on the latest development version of NetBSD, a complete overhaul
of the build system to remove the 2.88MB size limit, and availability of
contracts for technical support over the previous release.
g4u ("ghost for unix") is a NetBSD-based bootfloppy/CD-ROM that allows easy
cloning of PC harddisks to deploy a common setup on a number of PCs using FTP.
The floppy/CD offers two functions. The first is to upload the compressed image
of a local harddisk to a FTP server, the other is to restore that image via
FTP, uncompress it and write it back to disk. Network configuration is fetched
via DHCP. As the harddisk is processed as an image, any filesystem and
operating system can be deployed using g4u. Easy cloning of local disks as well
as partitions is also supported.
