Steve,
What exactly do you mean by "diskless slaves"? OSCAR assumes that all
the client nodes contain disks, since each one runs its own OS and apps.
If your client nodes are diskless, then that is your problem, since when
the clients are being "installed" everything is put on the client's
local disk. If you require a diskless cluster solution, you may want to
look at some of the other cluster projects available from SourceForge.
Happy clustering
