not always true. On one 1024 node update, a linuxbios update uncovered a problem in the hardware, such that 5 of the 1024 nodes had trouble booting. Times like those you really need a fallback. It's easy to see, given the general bugginess of so much PC hardware, why the BIOSes run it so slow. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
