Yep, /tftpboot/rpm is deprecated, it is now split in two:

/tftpboot/distro/<distro>: stores binary packages from distribution
/tftpboot/oscar/<distro>: stores binary packages from OSCAR

Both directories are automatically created for the user when
install_cluster is invoked, though it will bail if the first directory
is empty.

Perhaps it would make sense to have a directory called
/tftpboot/distro/current for specifying the location where users would
need to copy binary packages from the distribution to, as some times it
is hard to guess what the <distro> name could be (prevents user errors).


Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,

Bernard
