Hi Curt,
Thanks for that, being one to give it a go, this arvo I put wrote a small
generic shell script that starts up fg on each machine. It just reads 2
files of a server, one unique for that machine, the other for all machines.
Its build the fgfs command line then issues it. I figured the FG IO streams
were built via simgear right at init rather than later on the property tree.
For info I have the machines all running TWM under ubuntu on thumb sticks.
So each install is identical with configs and scenery by nfs from the
server, next step is to move them into a a ram file system image which loads
and boots from the stick or pxe.
Although not Flightgear, you don't remember how you set up the auto logon,
thats rather looked down on in unix circles and I have not found any
answers to that question around the net. Thats my next problem to address.
regard Harry

The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources
and provide services. The best practices for maximizing a physical server's
connectivity to a physical network are well understood - see how these
rules translate into the virtual world?
