Hello, 1/ Why is it confusing? Just follow the documentation and it will most certainly work. The note specific to RHEL says that the _distribution_ repository needs to be local; this other chapter is about the _OSCAR_ repository. And the documentation says so. 2/ Right after the installation of the OSCAR rpm means right after the command "yum install oscar" which installs OSCAR and as specified in the documentation.
I slightly modified the text to try to make it even more clear but i do not see what i can do in addition of that. However, feel free to send me some text if you know how to improve it.

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.
