Hi Vuko, cluster compute nodes are intended to be a "lite" install with only the functionality necessary to perform actions as a "compute node". Thus "workstation" functionality is not considered necessary and thus the reason why not all available rpms are installed.
specifically regarding emacs - why do you want emacs installed on all your computation nodes? unless of course you are doing PDEs (Parallel Distributed Edits) :^) stephen Vuko Brigljevic wrote: > > Hello, > > I've just realized that on my newly installed > oscar cluster, emacs isn't there on the clients, > even though the emacs rpm is in /tftpboot/rpm/ > on the server.
