Hi Nick, |

Well, unfortunately, some other "prioritized" administrative functions fell |
4 |
on my lap so I've had to pause my work on this. I am glad to hear that |
5 |
someone is getting somewhere with this. One of my colleagues in another |
6 |
department jsut built a cluster using part of what I posted on my Wiki and he |
7 |
is having a blast! |

|

....unfortunately, the wiki doesn't seem to get updated accrdingly...whishful |
10 |
thinking...sigh... The big cludge in all this will be CONFIGURING all the |
11 |
components. So, if any of you feel like sharing some config files or trics, I |
12 |
believe we'd be more than happy (and will post it too ;). I'll even make |
13 |
scripts to automate the repetitive and easily generatable config files (like |
14 |
hosts and all). |
15 |
|
16 |
Also, you'll want to keep your eye on this bug (and some other dependant |
17 |
ones). Torque is a sick build with nasty install folder handicap. |
