Hi Henrique, Thanks - in fact, I must've reset my mysql root password (following http://www.tech-faq.com/reset-mysql-password.shtml, as it's been a while), just as you were writing your email below ;) Other than having to issue this password many times through the bootstrapping stage, I have now successfully completed bootstrapping OSCAR. But not successfully installing it (read on):

[r...@wulf yum.repos.d]# The next step is to run the system-sanity script. When I do, it tells me the usual things one does when installing 5.x (ensure gpgcheck=0 in /etc/yum.conf: [cut] ---------------------------------------------- ERROR: Yum configuration is invalid The gpgkey is set to 1, it will be impossible to install OSCAR packages. Please, set the gpgkey to 1 (/etc/yum.conf). ---------------------------------------------- [cut] (I think the script means to say "Please set to 0"?) and also to ensure root is permitted direct ssh login (that is, "PermitRootLogin yes" is uncommented in /etc/ssh/sshd_config). It also complains about the network setup (because I haven't edited my /etc/hosts file as per prescriptions for 5.x installs). I have two NICs, so I create separate lines for the public (eth0) and cluster (eth1) NICs, importantly separated from the 127.0.0.1 localh...@localdomain localhost line. All familiar things I was wondering if I had to still do for 6.0.x. Re-running "system-sanity", it still seems to think I'm not specifying any NIC at all, when eth1 is clearly there at the top of /etc/oscar/oscar.conf: [r...@wulf yum.repos.d]# !sys system-sanity Checking your system...

Is there somewhere else this gets specified? Finally.... after a few minutes of fruitlessly typing "oscar-wizard" as specified in the repoTesting instructions, and then searching through my filesystems looking for it (!), I quickly see that the command has an underscore, not a dash (e.g., "/usr/bin/oscar_wizard"). It did for 5.1rc1, too (when it lived in /opt/oscar/scripts), so my mistake, but you might want to tweak this part of the "Testing the development version" instructions, too ;) Running "oscar_wizard" fails instantly because SystemInstaller, isn't installed: [r...@wulf /]# oscar_wizard Can't locate SystemInstaller/Tk/Common.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/systemconfig /usr/lib/systeminstaller /usr/lib/systemimager/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/OSCAR/AddNode.pm line 34.
