Hi Carlos, I used FAI and Debian Sid to install two clusters on our lab, one with 9 Intel PCs and other with 16 AMD Athlon XPs.
FAI took a little while to configure, but once set up it did a very clean and controlable job. Smooth and quick mass installation of nodes :-) Cheers Claudio Martins On Friday 26 July 2002 04:42, Carlos O'Donell wrote: > d-beowulf, > > Out of curiosity, what install methodology have people > employed in the field? > > I have a smalish, 50 node PARISC cluster and we wrote > our own tools for doing dead-simple automated installs > ( nfs install root, unpacks root-fs tarball onto disk ). > > Are people using FAI? > Are you dd'ing disks? > Manually installing all the nodes? > > I can elaborate more on our install methods if people > really want to hear a quick-n-dirty install method. > > c. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
