Hi all,

I'm a newbie to OSCAR. I'm trying to setup a small HPC cluster using CentOS
5.3 (x86_64) + OSCAR 6.03 (unstable).
First I took a quick glance to the online documents about the installation,
then got a little confused:

On the "Installation Guide" -> "Chaper 2: Release Notes" -> "2.5
Distribution Specific Notes" -> "2.5.1 RHEL 5"
It says one needs to create a local repository right after the installation
of OSCAR rpm. However, on "Chapter 3: Preparing to Install OSCAR" -> "3.3
Configuration for the Usage of the On-line OSCAR Repositories", it doesn't
mention that at all.

So, the questions are:

1. Do I have to execute the command "*cd /tftpboot/distro/redhat-el-5-x86_64
&& packman --prepare-repo /tftpboot/distro/redhat-el-5-x86_64*" if I use
CentOS 5.3?
2. What does "right after installation of OSCAR rpm" exactly mean? I used
yum install to get the OSCAR, so, does it mean I need execute the above
commands right after yum install oscar? But at that time the folder
/tftpboot doesn't exist at all.

Can anybody explain a little bit?
Thanks a lot.

James
