[ale] Anybody do open Mosix?

I just installed openMosix 2.4.19-7 on my slackware distros.  

I was following the "howto" on the openmosix site, but I now understand
it's basically obsolete...

patching the kernel, making it, making the modules, etc. went well.  I
now have a system that tells me it's an "Open Mosix" system.  Fine and
dandy...

However, I compiled and installed the openMosix Userland tools, and when
I run it, it complains that it's not an "openMosix" system!  

**caveat***
I really didn't understand what the configuration file meant when it
said you needed a path to an openMosix kernel- I assumed the source for
the running kernel (which is in /usr/src/linux-2.4.18- it's been patched
to 2.4.19, and with openMosix-2.4.19-7 btw), which I dutifully entered
as noted.

I've also been looking at the online Userland docs, and they apparently
have no relation at all to such things as how sysinit is handled by
slackware, so I'm pretty much crippled as to what files I need to run to
get the tools (and my cluster) up and running.


Files I have changed to date:

created:  /etc/hpc.map (which I understand from further reading is
outmoded, with openmosix.map being the prefered file format now)...

added:    mfs_mnt   /mfs    mfs   dfsa=0   0 0 

        to /etc/fstab

"Here's my family tree.  As far as I can tell, my relatives were 
carnival folk who were touring this place called Hiroshima in 
the summer of 1945.  Because they lost most of their hair, they 
mostly married each other.  And here I am"
