This sounds extremely dangerous. Are you doing whole-drive raid 5 or
are you only raiding individual partitions?

you really should get a smooth playback, assuming the file is the

Are you using inetd to start and stop your tftpd?
I'd recommend verifying that you can download the mvpmc software with
a tftp client running on another system before trying to get it
working on the MVP itself.

It can't. At least not reliably. Having two DHCP servers on the same

this case, you'd need to set up transcoding to get the audio encoded
