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.
