We can download g4U from internet (URL of g4U : <a href="http://www.feyrer.de/g4U">http://www.feyrer.de/g4U</a>) and just write it as image in a CD. This is a bootable CD.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">For this we need</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> - <span >On the </span><span >server, there should be an FTP Server</span> (to which the image is to upload)</span></strong><br /> <strong> - <span >a DHCP Server on the LAN</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Now, there is some steps for image cloning.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">1. Change the boot sequence, so that CD is the first boot device</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">2. Install all the required softwares in the system; even dual boot in a machine</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">3. Make a compressed image</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">4. Add user "install" in the FTP Server</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> <span style="color:#3333ff;">$sudo adduser install</span></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> and save with password.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">5. Upload it to an FTP Server; for this</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> Boot with the g4U CD then it will get and IP from DHCP Server.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> Then we get a prompt like g4U></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> Check for the IP address. For this</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> <span style="color:#3333ff;">g4U>ifconfig eth0 -a </span><span style="color:#000000;">(Check whether IP is obtained)</span></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> Now we can upload </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> <span style="color:#3333ff;">g4U>uploaddisk <ip> <filename.gz></span> (Extension should be .gz)</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Eg:<span style="color:#339999;">g4U>uploaddisk 192.168.0.88 acerblack.gz</span> </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;"> Enter password of the user install in FTP Server.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Now we can install similar systems by using the g4U (Install harddisk from FTP thru commandline). For this,</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"> <span style="color:#3333ff;">g4U>slurpdisk <ip> <filename.gz></span></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;">Eg: <span style="color:#339999;">g4U>slurpdisk 192.168.0.88 acerblack.gz</span></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;"> Enter password of the user install in FTP Server.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#000000;"></span></strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4742963492516640221-3706897272591543654?l=chitratrivandrum.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Chitrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04560122418555678100noreply@blogger.com0
