[ale] Anybody do open Mosix?

[da Black Baron]

Ahhh!  I got it!

Sitting here watching the little ansi-columns bounch and bob as they 
monitor the CPU cycles of the various nodes!  Sweet!

I think part of the problem was simply language (i.e. english is a
second language to many of the developers, including Moshe himself), the
subtile differences between a RH install and a Slackware install, and
the how-to's being completely devoid of any info whatsoever on how to
install on a ppoe firewall machine (easily accomplished, once you get it
right! ;-)....


Overall,  I'd say it wasn't too difficult install, considering all of
the above... hehehe.

Thanx, again!

"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"
