"g4u ('ghost for unix') is a NetBSD-based bootfloppy/CD-ROM that
allows easy cloning of PC harddisks to deploy a common setup on a
number of PCs using FTP. The floppy/CD offers two functions. First is
to upload the compressed image of a local harddisk to a FTP
server. Other is to restore that image via FTP, uncompress it and
write it back to disk; network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As
the harddisk is processed as a image, any filesystem and operating
system can be deployed using g4u."
