Sorry everybody, by mistakenly I typed ip word, actually the question is How to find the client machine hardware address(MAC address) which doesn't have any OS installed from server. Easiest method is one that was pointed out earlier - boot with a liveCD. Once booted up, ifconfig should show the MAC address (assuming the card is common enough for drivers to be loaded from the image). Some OS needs to be running to check it out under normal circumstances. The other option is to try a network boot and check request on the server side for MAC address.

Re: [Ilugc] How to get client machine ip address from server
How to find the client machine hardware address(MAC address) which doesn't have any OS installed from server. If I am understanding the question right, then you want to know the ip from a server machine to which the machine without an OS is connected as a client. As someone above has already pointed out, how can that machine without an OS possibly connect to a server ? And also , I am not sure if this is possible , but can someone point out if a machine can use a networking stack for simple communication without having to load an entire OS kernel ( no not even a modified kernel, just a networking software stack ). ? And if it is possible, are their any software stacks already available which do this ?

It is not necessary to check server. It will be displayed while searching. However it will be for a short duration. So best way is a.Goto bios. Enable pxe boot. b.In Boot device priority set only pxe boot. disable all others. c. disable booting from other devices. Now the system will endlessly wait for dhcp reply showing the MAC address.

[Ilugc] Compiling the whole Linux distro from source
Hi all, Can any suggest a open-source Linux / some OS project that has a good documentation on compiling every integral part of it and getting the same fully functional iso image/ stuff that is readily available otherwise. Most of such projects lack documentation especially on compiling everything from source. Few are deliberately placing the src contents scattered, that further adds to the complexity. Is there any such really Open-Source Project on this regard?

[Ilugc] OAOD (APTonCD)
Application: APTonCD What it is: APTonCD is an application that backs up all of your packages downloaded from apt-get or aptitude onto a CD or a DVD. This is perfect if you ever lose an internet connection or if you want to quickly install new operating systems without having to remember a long list of packages you needed to install. Features: YOu can also add .deb packages manually with the add package feature, or by dragging them in from Nautilus. Ability to create a meta-package with all of the packages you have installed. This makes it easy to trick out a new Ubuntu installation with a single command. This might be a good way to replace Automatix with your own custom solution.

RE: [Ilugc] kernel build option - ramdisk
Hi, The initrd image usually contains some drivers that are not built-in the kernel, and required to access hardware when the kernel boots. But, one can also use the initrd image as a filesystem image (root filesystem directories from busybox, for example) that can be booted with the kernel to give the end user a shell prompt to work with -- like the use of a LiveCD/DVD running entirely on RAM that has both kernel and initrd filesystem image. Thanks for clarification. Still I have some couple of question. 1) So initrd is first file which executes first in the boot process (if present) . Am I correct? 2) There are so many variances in the kernel image file (vmlinuz, bzImage, zImage, etc). What is the difference? How do we build each? I may be stupid, But just want to clarify initrd is the ramdisk correct? Thanks. Suresh ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

*Respected All*, I may be wrong to react to this mail - in the format (not for the content - since I am not a software programmer), if so please forgive me. Madam Anita could have written in this group - with a little more attention to english. I dont think that she will prepare a CV to a MNC or Infosys etc, with such indifference to the presentation. I could easily believe that she knows the language well to write to this group / forum in a more disciplined way. I could easily accept and welcome those - who sincerely try to write to this group with the best use of the english which they knew. I am sorry, but could not control myself to put my anger in this. It is because that I really respect this group. If this is not permitted, i request the moderator to cut this mail from me. with regards sivakumar ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Vamsee asked her, rather politely, to use regular English instead of sms-speak so that people might actually read her message and maybe help her out. He also asked for clarifications which might help answer her questions. Why should that make you angry? Is it wrong to ask people to be careful about language while mailing the group? He was trying to help, unlike you. Chill out, there's no need to get angry about two people trying to have a technical conversation. :) If this is not permitted, i request the moderator to cut this mail from me. How? This is an unmoderated group, your mail has already gone out to all subscribers. Now, with my mail, we've hijacked this thread, which is rather unfortunate. Anitha, you should reply to Vamsee's mail, since filtering is too vague to understand what you're saying. Roshan Mathews ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] How to get client machine ip address from server
A client can take IP address, communicate with server without OS. This is what pxe/ether boot does. pxe/etherboot does following a.send dhcp request b.obtain ip address,gate way, next-server address etc. c.fetch kernel from next-server using tftp. d.execute the kernel I don't think people consider pxe/etherboot as OS. I think it may be the solution, actually what the interviewer has asked is, suppose in my network we have some systems which doesn't have OS installed but are connected to the server machine, from server machine how can he find the hardware address of the client machine which doesn't have any OS installed. I hope the PXE will be the solution what u have suggested, but in server side what command I need to run to get the hardware address of these client machine without going to the client side. Please suggest also some good links for PXE. ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Hi, but in server side what command I need to run to get the hardware address of these client machine without going to the client side. It is not possible. If there is no OS in client side, you wont boot it. It is like you want to know a number of a mobile phone which is switched off and there is no sim card.

Please suggest also some good links for PXE. Here 'connected' is too vague.Is it just physical connection or something like tftp?. Possible ways a.Have arp tools like arpwatch. b.If the clients send request then dhcp log will have mac address c.Better may be what ettercap does. Ettercap (and many more) is tool for packetsniffing. It sends ARP ping or some such technique to get all mac address. However, how to link a particular mac with a machine should be very difficult unless you have only one machine. For pxe look at etherboot project pages.
