There was a copyright concern with the original version of G4l 0.10, being that it was used G$U as the basis for the scripts with a linux system as compared with the original netbsd. It should also be pointed out that version 0.12, was a total new cration not based on either the G4U or G4l 0.10 script, both of which were simply using dd piped thru gzip to ftp. It should also be pointed out that the copyrighr information only appeared on the web page, and was not included in any of the scripts, so if the original author got the G4U from some other location, he might not of even know that anything was in effect regarding the code.
I've contacted the G4U author, and tried to get the issue resolved, and did get one response from him, but he has still not taken the time to examine the later versions, so I'm not going to push the issue. I have added this information and given links to it at boot up of my modified versions of G4L, and give anyone the opportunaity to decide what they wish to do. The G4L 0.14 script was over 2000 lines in length, and uses a GUI interface. G4U is a set of script to feed information to do a DD | GZIP | FTP process.
I would suggest that anyone truly interested take a look at the current code rather than going back to the verion 0.10.
After Login, it is just g4l as the user id with no password
to run the script just ./g4l
The latest script is g4lup20tst but it is linked to g4l
I've also added lzop compression in additino to gzip and bzip, and have added udpcast. I've also rebuilt kernels to include other drives and devices. Only problem I've had is getting raid support for Compac (HP) Raid Systems that are not part of kernel.org.
Thanks.
