Sure, we'll keep that in mind. BTW, have you used si_monitor(tk)? It shows you installation progress and would show you the "download" rate of all the nodes - perhaps you can give that a shot. > Also I've seen that after finishing the installation, the tar > image doesn't > get removed and has world readable permissions.

We left it there such that it could be seeded in the future - I *think* there is an option of telling it to remove the tarball if the user wants to, but I'll have to double check that. The tarball being world readable definitely seems like a bad thing, I'll make sure to change that. > One last thing I forget to mention i the last post.

Basically I imaged a Red Hat OS and the file size of /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys in the imaged node is different from the one in the original image. The worst thing is that this actually corrupts the RPM database! I think the tarball itself is fine, it's just that perhaps extracting it onto the filesystem causes some strange encoding problem. I don't have time to track this down yet, but if you have some ideas, it would really help speed things up.
