Excuse my ignorance, please, but can someone tell me how to do that on Linux (2.6 kernels would be fine)? The kernel scheduler -- as opposed to a cluster scheduler -- is a complete black box as far as I know. While I am it, where do I find a minimal list of processes necessary to run a cluster node. I can't see any reason to run the PC Smart Card demon, pcscd, but I don't know what else I can pitch. Mike
