Well, for clusters with disks/big images, the gain is not obvious. For an image smaller than 9Mb (diskless), it will certainly speed things a lot. The dream is of course to have some multicasting way of pushing images to the nodes. This feature will then be very interesting ;-) Ben -- Benoit des Ligneris Etudiant au Doctorat -- Ph. D.
