When I built my cluster, I did not have the need to install additional packages. (I attempted to view the list of available packages, but none showed up in the list.)

I am now interested in adding checkpointing capability to my cluster and things I've read lead me to believe there might be a BLCR package in the OPD repositories. I ran /opt/oscar/scripts/opd and here's what the session looked like:

---- BEGIN opd output ----

So any help out there? Would like to get opd working (if necessary) and am also interested in hearing if anyone is using checkpointing on their Linux clusters successfully.

Thanks!
