That is ver much appreciated. I trust it is OK that I ask a few 
clarifying questions before continuing.

client image.

That explains a lot. So systemimager-based scripts will fail once we get 
to that part.

With "postinstall" you mean "after the rsync parts" - but before the 
following node boot, right?

And just to be sure. The method you describe is _not_ based on the 
systemimager scripts, but rather on the scripts coming with SALI 
(masterscript.new and friends?)

I am sure we will get back to the actual scripts used, but to get 
started I need to get the plainer details right first. I have the 
SystemImager v4.1.6 Manual, but I *really* need some simple explanation 
on how to go from tehre to SALI. For example, if I recall correctly, I 
need to modify dhcpd.conf compared to "plain" systemimager to get 
tftpboot process to do as expected(?)

I got the kernel and initrd for x86_64 (sali-x86_64.tar.gz). We run 
CentOS kernel 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64, so we should be OK with your udev 
version etc.
Also, can get the svn sources, but it is not clear how much is needed.

I know that I am talking about simple stuff here. But for the sake of my 
sanity I need to get it right. If you provide informatuion, then I shall 
be happy to assist in actual writing some of the according docs afterwards.

Sorry for all the stupid questions,

Bjarne
