No, I haven't written any code yet. Just creating a thread to focus discussion on how to make it work.

(1) DHCP not provided.
(2) The initial NFS download of "zImage" will be spoofed by Hijack as a special case. A real NFS implementation will not be provided -- this hack will work ONLY for the one "zImage" download.
(3) The zImage file itself (Receiver's Linux kernel) will be hacked to use FTPFS instead of NFS for subsequent .ARF accesses. This allows it to "mount" its Linux filesystem using FTP via Hijack's existing FTP server. No new code in Hijack for this.
(4) The actual music services will be provided by the existing Hijack HTTP server, with some special-case enhancements to find/filter the database info required. Soup views and the like can be obtained by having Hijack read/filter the existing Empeg "database" file.


EDIT: Moving this thread / discussion to the EmpegBBS instead: http://empeg.comms.net/php/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=hackers_prog&Number=181786&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=186&fpart=&vc=
