Thats great you can netboot all of your miners, but then you need a requried server to be able to handle all of the clients and about 2 gigs of ram for it to run...

ahh.. thats a job for a VM copy of the very same software! recursion ROCKS i might say!

no one ever said this was all easy, but its easier than rollerblading, at least for me!

RE: installing to HD required booting off a separate ubuntu disc and installing grub from that.

my ubuntu notes (might not work for you directly)
--------
set root=(hd0,msdos1)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.39-3-amd64 root=/dev/sda1
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.39-3-amd64
boot

back in linuxcoin i had to end up doing the following to properly 'update-grub'
--------
paxctl -zpeMRxs /usr/sbin/grub-setup
paxctl -zpeMRxs /usr/sbin/grub-mkdevicemap
paxctl -zpeMRxs /usr/sbin/grub-probe

now my vm host of linuxcoin installed on a HD and will boot, woot!

right now i am apt-get updating and customizing, followed by copying my custom live-rw/home-rw persistence partitions onto other 4gb usb sticks.

Dr G: any news on when 1.0 will drop? cause i am planing on doing this all over again!

Dr G: any chance of getting netselect-apt included to find the closest mirror?
