Project Description

g4u ("ghost for unix") is a boot-floppy/CD that
allows one to easily clone PC hard disks by using
FTP. This is often done to deploy a common setup
on a number of PCs. The floppy/CD offers two
functions: it uploads the compressed image of a
local hard disk to an FTP server, and then it can
retrieve that image via FTP, uncompress it, and
write it back to disk. Network configuration is
fetched via DHCP. As the hard disk 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.
