I'm running FC3, but I assume these parts should still be relevant:
1.) in Fedora Core 4 there is no dhcp.conf in the /etc
directory. If I create a new one my dhcp server will
not start. Where is this file located or what am I
doing wrong here
The file should be called /etc/dhcpd.conf. If you can't find that, try ls -l /etc/dhcp* and see what files show up. Failing that, stop and restart your dhcp server and look in /var/log/messages for output from the server. That might give you some hints as to where it's looking for a config file. If that still doesn't help, try 'man dhcpd' or 'man dhcp'.
2.) Fedora always sets the tftp server to be a default
of off. Where is the file to turn the default to "on"
If you installed tftp from an rpm I believe it gets set up to run under xinetd. Look in /etc/xinetd.d. There should be a file called tftp (maybe tftpd). There should be several lines in this file that set various things. One of those lines should look like this:
disabled = yes
Change that yes to a no and restart xinet (/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart)
3.) I have both the donble.bin and the dongle.bin.conf
in the /tftpboot directory so if my tftp server is
running I should have to configure anything else.
Correct?
Correct, that should be all you need to do assuming that your DHCP and tftp servers are set up correctly.
4.) Which dongle.bin.conf way are you using
NFS configuration:
rdate -s 192.168.10.50
mkdir /var
mkdir /var/myth/
mount -t nfs -o
nolock,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,nfsvers=3
192.168.10.50:/var/myth/ /var/myth/
mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.10.50
-r /var/myth/video &
Or standard configuration:
rdate -s 192.168.10.50
mvpmc -f /etc/helvR10.fnt -s 192.168.10.50
&
I'm using the standard configuration. My reasoning for this is that I read somewhere that mvpmc sometimes has A/V sync issues during playback and I believe it mentioned something about this being related to NFS. So I figured I'd just avoid the NFS mount and stream the video straight from the backend. I haven't been using it long enough to tell if it's having A/V sync issues or not so YMMV.
