Hi Jeremy, Thanks for your information, and as you said I have to wait for some time. I have tried to install the nodes with network, auto install floppy and boot cd still I am having the same problem.
If we install the node as a master node (with the packages provided) and can we joint the master as a slave node with another master node do you thing this will work out. Regards Sundaram -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeremy Enos Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 12:28 AM To: Sundaram A Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: FW: FW: [Oscar-users] Node Installation Failure. Sundaram- As I requested before, please mail the LIST with these requests. Not me directly. You will have a much better chance of getting assistance that way. If you can't install via the boot floppy, boot cd, or network boot, then I'm afraid OSCAR may not be for you right now. In the future, we may have support for installing on existing nodes, but not yet.
