Bootable Gallery / UPnP Media server CD-image

Hello,

I just finished the first ("worksforme") version of a customized Knoppix CD-image containing Gallery 1.4.4-pl6 and a UPnP MediaServer that allows compliant devices in the home network to browse the contents of Gallery.

When you boot with this CD, it tries to look for a DHCP server listening in the network connected to the network interface "eth0". If such a server is found, it gets its IP from there, otherwise it starts its own DHCP server and uses 10.1.1.1 as its IP. Then it scans the hard drive partitions present in the machine, and selects one with over 100 megs of free space (currently supported filesystems are ext2, ext3, reiser, jfs, xfs, (v)fat and ntfs). The directory "GMSDATA" is then created in the root of that filesystem to use as the Gallery data directory. This directory is reused on successive boots.

After the system has booted, you should log in to Gallery to change the initial admin user (username "admin", password "password"). You *can* do this in the machine's console with e.g. links, or then you could find out its IP and use that... in any case the URL is http://<machine ip>/gallery.

The UPnP MediaServer included on the CD is written by me, its project page is at http://kooditakomo.cs.tut.fi/projects/gms.

Please tell me if it works, or even more importantly, if it doesn't =)
