Hi All My name is Aji I want to make a parallel processing with a diskless processor x486 (old PC) for my thesis to get a bachelor degree (S1)
I have done the FAI-setup and Succeded on booting from the floppydisk for the ISA ethernet card (using SMC ultrachip 83c790qf) I Dont want to install FAI for the client, but I want to use the NFSroot that FAI-setup had been done to be my diskless virtual directory for my x486 PC. I want to Ask : 1. I want to install MPICH on the server, do i need any configuratiion on the client ? 2. When i change the /etc/export for nfsroot from ro => rw, but i still cannot add some thing on the client (that had been booted with floppy using make-fai floppy), it say that it's read only, can i change it to read and write ? please tell me how ? 3. If FAI-SETUP done everything for my diskless installation?, i know that i can add some program to be installed to the nfsroot (I write make-fai-nfsroot to add some program like SNMP, etc) I'm still new in debian, FAI and linux, i learned it from 4 month ago starting with how to install a debian, learning FAI, etc So i'm sorry if my question confused all of u nb : I'm Using Debian Sarge 3.1 THANX :p Regrads Bagus Irawan Ajinagoro College Student From Telecomunication College INDONESIA STT TELKOM BANDUNG
