Configurations
You must configure three elements to update through the network. The first is how to prepare the appropriate "updates2.dau" file. The second is how to set up correctly the server that has the URL of the update site. The last is how to make the directory tree and place the update files correctly on that server physically.
  • updates2.dau
    The "updates2.dau" file is the text data written the update information. You must need to calculate the MD5 checksum of each update files when you prepare the "updates2.dau" file. Therefore, you can not read and/or write the contents of this file with text/binary editor by yourself.

    If you want to prepare the "updates2.dau" file from the initial conditions, you must need to make a suitable directory at first, next, make the empty (0 byte) updates2.dau file, third, place update files correctly on your directory, and finally drug and drop this directory to the embryo.exe. This directory corresponds to the home directory of a ghost.

    The structure of this directory tree and contents of these update files will keep faithfully when extract the archive.

    Following is an example of the directory tree and its contents of component files.

   +-ghost
      +-master
         +-banner

   +-shell

  • Configurations of URL for updating

  • How to post the update files to the server
    When you post the update files, upload the directory includes updates2.dau to the server as there is.
