We tried to install the DP1 have decided not to use FreeBSD. We have to use 5.0 if we want to use FreeBSD because of the platform. The FreeBSD 5.0 cd is the only one rigth now that can boot but it doesn't mount the CD. This cluster has to be Beowulf, do things like compile code, convert lots of wav files to mp3, ect. -- Best regards/Met vriendelijke groet, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
