Frisbee

Frisbee is the tool we use to manipulate disk images. The 3 main components are:

imagezip Imagezip generates the disk images. It requires that you boot into a PREOS, either via a cdrom/usb flash drive or PXE. Orbit primarily uses PXE.

frisbee Frisbee is the tool that writes the image onto a disk, the image is received via a network multicast. It must only be run in the PREOS.

frisbeed Frisbeed is the daemon that sends the disk image to nodes in the network. It's run from the server that houses your images.
