Hi

I think you must enable tftp server on your distro and configure
dhcp.conf correct. The first think the mvpmc tries is to contact a
DHCP server. The DHCP server has scope options about the ip-adresse
for the tftp server. The client contacts then the tftp server and
download the dongle.bin.mvpmc which is the operativsystem and the GUI.
After this it starts up normally. The mvpmc are based on the busybox
linux distro.

Check out this howto:
http://mvpmc.sourceforge.net/mvpmc-HOWTO-singlehtml.html#ss3.4
The Windows howto are also helpful.

Editing a correct dhcp.conf are a pain. Enabling tftp are disabled per
default. Goggle around for howto to this for your distro

Harald
