Aha, that explains it. The good news is I was able to build my own mvp dongle from the source by following the steps here: https://github.com/mvpmc/mvpmc/blob/master/README On my ubuntu 10.04 (64bit), this basically meant: $ sudo apt-get install scons $ git clone https://github.com/mvpmc/mvpmc.git $ cd mvpmc $ make mvp In setting up the network boot, I then ran into some file naming confusion. In order to get the tftpboot operation to run the dongle.config script, I did some nasty duplication of files / names (which I found described here: http://mvpmc.wikispaces.com/LinuxFlashboot) cp dongle.bin.mvpmc dongle.bin cp dongle.bin.mvpmc.ver dongle.bin.ver cp dongle.bin.mvpmc.config dongle.bin.config So my follow-up question: Do we know for sure which of these files needs to be duplicated (and/or maybe which of the original file names is just plain wrong, and should be deleted/renamed in both docs and in in /tftpboot/ dir)? I ran out of cycles (and breath traversing stairs) while trying to experiment with the naming to answer this question myself, so I thought I'd ask. My follow-up to the follow-up question: Jon, can you tell me more about how the nightly builds were done previously (and/or share the script used)? I ask because I already run a few Continuous Integration builds in my basement for some open source projects, and if there is interest, maybe I could setup a similar build for mvpmc? Disclosure: I'm a java guy, and I know just enough C to be a danger to myself and those around me. My existing OSS CI builds are java projects (well 'jna' sort of crosses the border, but that build is currently broken due to a winz/gcc tool issue), so I'll probably bother people with stupid builder tricks if I go forward with this.
