I am working on something for this environment, although discussion is on the dev. board and is a bit technical right now, but you can follow it http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.multimedia.mvpmc.devel/3801 I will be working on a simplified howto boot mvpmc without special dhcp based on the testing going on. This will be for windows and linux and for both models of the mvp. Note I just noticed that at sourceforge the online mailing list is hopelessly out of date (including your message) better to follow things here: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.multimedia.mvpmc.devel http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.multimedia.mvpmc.user You probably need stage 1.a getting the dongle.bin.mvpmc to configure everything to your liking. > however stage2 requires something to supply the dongle.bin file > does this need to be the dhcp server ? No it is never a dhcp server, it is always a tftp server supplying dongle.bin (and for your case standard port 69 will be sufficient will be sufficient). However the dhcp process can identfy the dongle name and the tftp server address.which is quite flexible. > on ubuntu there seems to be three possibilitys > etherboot or atftp tftp-hpa I use atftp. > the next thing is to configure the media server and this seems very > difficult too. It depends, of the servers that mvpmc can work, installing mythtv is supposed to be challenging, (I've never done it) but the others are all quite straightforward. > any help or advice will be greatfully recieved If you have trouble following the dev thread, ask questions and I'll try and explain. It will help me understand what to put in the how to. Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
