Just some comments on SALI. We use the SALI kernel/initrd on Debian, Centos and SUSE Linux PowerPC. The development is mostly donein a Debian enviroment, Only when you want to make you own kernel/initrd you have to compile it from scratch. We do not use the systemimager-server tools anymore. They are replaced by the SALI server tools. they are noy documented yet :-( As for the systemconfigurator tools we have replaced them partially by functions in the `initrd` and postinst scripts. So we get rid of the systemconfigurator tools. We have some ideas howto replace them with other tools. As for LVM the SALI kernel/initrd support it. For now there are now functions for it to hide the complexity. So you must do the basic LVM commands in the master script. > In conclusion, it seems to me that if you can make systemconfigurator > work correctly on CentOS 6.x, then SI and/or SALI should work as well > for installing clients that will be bootable. > We have implemented a `grub2_install` functions or create a postinst script that will do it for you -- ******************************************************************** * Bas van der Vlies e-mail: b...@sara.nl * * SARA - Academic Computing Services Amsterdam, The Netherlands * ********************************************************************
