Hello Tiger,
My very last tip, if you have a clustered servers running Mandrake
Linux, you can also use the following commands:
[1] urpmi-parallel-ka-run
urpmi-parallel-ka-run is an extensions module to urpmi for handling
distributed installation using ka-run tools.
[2] urpmi-parallel-ssh
urpmi-parallel-ssh is an extensions module to urpmi for handling
distributed installation using ssh and scp tools.
