Hi Dave:

For our test case, it seems that if I have d/led PBS from OPD (the RPMs
will be copied to /tftpboot/rpm), without selecting PBS, I get an error
message complaining about conflict between installation of OpenPBS +
Torque.  Torque is selected by default, so:

- ask for maui and torque, get pbs (if both pbs + torque are present)

I suggest a doc fix for now.  I can write something up later today.  

Cheers,

Bernard
