Really, a pc with 6G of RAM is a bit overkill :-) > If you have any comments regarding the new BT transport, please let us > know.

Apart from the one you metion above, I think that while downloading the image on the client, apart of showing the percentage, also would be useful to show the download and upload rates. Also I've seen that after finishing the installation, the tar image doesn't get removed and has world readable permissions. I think it would be a security problem, at least in our case in which we will use SystemImager to install computer classrooms. One last thing I forget to mention i the last post. I'm not sure why it happens, but the /tmp directory gets wrong permissions. In the image server: # ls -ld /var/lib/systemimager/images/aules/tmp/ drwxrwxrwt 10 root root 4096 May 3 11:42 /var/lib/systemimager/images/aules/tmp/ In the tar file: # tar vtf /var/lib/systemimager/tarballs/image-aules.tar ... drwxrwxrwt root/root 0 2006-05-03 11:42:23 ./tmp/ ... But in the installed client: # ls -ld /tmp drw-r--r-- 20 root root 4096 May 5 11:01 /tmp I'm using rpms built from svn trunk r3536. I will have to investigate some further...
