Sorry for not replying sooner. Thanks for the input Michael, I think sourceforge or my ISP dropped your reply and I never realized someone did reply =(
I will be installing another cluster soon, and I prefer CentOS, but I reverted to an older Fedora distribution to avoid the error. I have some extra hardware, so I may try this again, making the directory to see if it works. I do know CentOS 4.2 works fine with OSCAR, you just have to remove python-ellementree ( and YUM goes with it ). But you can reinstalled YUM 2.4 in its place. This is with OSCAR 4.2, I have not tried OSCAR 5 on CentOS. Michael Edwards wrote: > Sorry, this got lost in the gmail blackout.
