We have a How-To section that we would be glad for you to contribute to. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=HowTos
If you need to change our code, it can only be reviewed and accepted, if you sign a Contributor's agreement. This is documented in the following under "Contributor and Maintainers Agreements" http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_Developer_Guide In either case for code to change, open a SF bug with the problem. If you cannot sign the agreement, do not give us a sample fix, we cannot use it and should not see it. Thanks, we need people like you to test other environments like Debian. Lissa K.

When I have some time today, I'm going to go through the source and see what I can find. If I write up a page on making this work (or update the plugin) can I expect it will be accepted as a contibution?

I notice that there is a comppute template in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/debian/. I've downloaded all the debian stable DVDs and imported them using copycds. However, when I go to set a node to do a debian install I get: # nodeset node001 install=debian6.0.6-x86_64-compute Error: Install image not found in /install/debian6.0.6/x86_64 Error: Some nodes failed to set up install resources, aborting I'd appreciate any assistance or a pointer towards any resources that will help me.
