If you don't want to reinvent the wheel, I would suggest: http://www.perceus.org/
This site covers the Warewulf and new Perceus cluster toolset. There is also http://www.onesis.org/index.php If you do want to re-invent the wheel (to learn about cluster provisioning etc.) then check out the NFS Root HowTo on the Onesis page. -- Doug > Hi, > > I'm trying to set up my first cluster with diskless nodes.
