Hi Td, I am not clear with what you want to do on the client nodes. Do you want to have two OSes on the client nodes and load one of them as you wish. You can push the OSCAR supported distro image to your client node but currently it will wipe out the existing system and install the clean OS as a client node. I do not think that it is impossible to setup multiple partitions which host your target OS as you wish on the client node but we have not done this yet.
BTW, you may be looking for a diskless cluster which may work for your requirement. Please let us know if you have any issues of playing with the OSCAR trunk version.
