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.
