some tests done by flashmobbers showed problems in the nodes actually 'subtracting' rather than 'adding' computing power. unfortunately, vivek khurana, on whose shoulders the history of this moment is to rest, was missing during this discussion. so we could have discussed alternatives. i believe we could attempt this with another live distro, or contact the flashmob supercomputing list to find out what is happening.
please, let's have a list of volunteered sites for the flashmob event. let's do a sample test of this using bootable cds on-location. even a two-node cluster would do. vivek, you can best coordinate this, as you are completely clued in to the intiative, and tell us how do we proceed.
I have a suggestion. Why dont you folks go to http://lap.linux-delhi.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/WebHome and start off a page on the flahmob supercomputing status, resources found out till now, recent tries at the stuff - the problems found, etc.? We can have a link to this wiki site from the main ILUGD home page.
LL, why dont you start out the top level page for the project, and then just make points for the various facets of it - like TODO, volunteers, resources needed, knowledge base, etc. People here can keep adding to it as needed.
The LAP twiki site is lying unused. WE can use it for maintaining status for other projects of ILUGD (even the T-Shirt project).

P.S. I plan to start a page on twiki myself asking for donations to sponsor me to for my long-standing demand about my trip to Phuket for T-shirts on ILUGD funds, which I have been unfairly denied all these years. ;)
