Earf Live CD for new nVidia cards This CD is based on the Ubuntu 8.10 'Intrepid Ibex' live CD with the addition of Earf and its required dependancies. You will need a GPU supported by the nVidia 177.80 drivers, a list of which can be found here: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/177.80/README/appendix-a.html Earf is installed in /opt/earf on the live CD. A special wrapper script is executed by the desktop shortcut. If you have network connectivity it will attempt to update the copy of Earf to the latest version. If you wish to pass alternate command line arguments to Earf you can execute it directly from /opt/earf/. If you choose this route, it is a good idea to execute the wrapper first to ensure you have the latest version. Anyone wishing to develop their own collector can look at the included earf_client.py script. This demonstrates how to transmit lat/lon/color data to Earf for display. Other clients I have written use the MaxMind.com GeoIP-Lite City database to perform the geolocation. Sample code is available upon request and may be included in future releases.
