Nah, you are just TR's posterboy PWer.

Instead of naming the configuration settings pxelinux.cfg/default, can I name the file to match the MAC address per the pxelinux standards so I can boot multiple diskless clients?

Now, we know it kinda defeats the purpose of the diskless thing .. but many over there love the linux client but know 0 about linux and don't wanna run a gui linux distro.... your setup saves so much time, get the shares correct, and network settings all at one time ..
Is this even possible? or are we just crazy ...

Trying to run notfred's folding in Linux under VMWare on a host Windows XP SP2 machine. AMD X2 4200. Clock on the VMWare machine running crazy fast i.e. just tried it now and it had ticked off 37 minutes when in fact only 7 minutes of real time had passed.

notfred wrote:That's pretty bizarre. I assume you tried copying over the files multiple times to make sure it is not just a bad copy of the initrd? Another thing to try is to boot off a folding CD with the INSTALL on and that will try to install to the first two USB sticks that it finds.

Thanks for the reply. And thanks for all you do "notfred".
I hate to even bother you with dumb qustions.
notfred: "Another thing to try is to boot off a folding CD with the INSTALL on and that will try to install to the first two USB sticks that it finds."
Since he is using a quad. (Q6600) that will run 2 instances. Does he need to have 2 sticks plugged in? Or maybe you were just saying it would install to 2 sticks. But you only need ONE. right? Sorry for the *cornfusion*

Did you ever conclude your tests on the /2 vs /4 config.
I have read threw that area of the thread .. and it seems like you were getting around 10%+ boost at a min ...
I have noticed that on the 3065 ... there is not much boost from going 2x SMP ... but all others get a good boost.
I have been on WIN for a while, and just move 5 systems back to diskless...
I had forgotten how many more WU seem to be available for linux that are not that common in windows.
