Is there any chance of getting the lastest version of g4u into UBCD 5?
I wanted to boot G4u (alpha version) from PXE server installed on windows XP, but I can't do that with the new version. I can't use memdisk to emulate the floppy version since they're splitted into 3 .fs images.
Lastest version of G4u? Is it possible?

@ Victor: The section in the isolinux config file for g4u is:
Without the ro and raw options it just runs fine (in a virtual machine).
Code: Select all
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND initrd=/ubcd/images/g4u.igz ro raw
Code: Select all
KERNEL memdisk
APPEND initrd=/ubcd/images/g4u.igz

Heh, legacy stuff. I will correct that in the next beta release.Without the ro and raw options it just runs fine (in a virtual machine).
thank you victor for your script.
I finally got g4u to work. I'm now able to boot g4u 2.4alpha via PXE without any problem.
"ro raw" parameters are needed, otherwise it will crash.

I have tested g4u V2.3 and g4u V2.4 alpha 2 in qemu, they both work with the following:
