Hi,

Finally, I had the time to wrap everything together. With the 2 patches I recently submitted, it becomes possible to easily install many servers with Archlinux.

See for the Trapezium server and some doc here: http://hg.vejnar.org/trapezium

The documentation is minimal so don't hesitate to comment or ask questions.

Sweet! I was looking into writing something like this, but you beat me to it, thanks! I will have to give this a try!

cool stuff. http://hg.vejnar.org/trapezium/src/48b2bd6a1f10/config/example.script could use a bit more clarity. for example trapezium=192.168.3.2:8086 wget .. $trapezium/... and explain why the remove is needed. maybe only do the remove if aif exited with exitcode 0. also why the sleep 60 ? http://hg.vejnar.org/trapezium/src/48b2bd6a1f10/config/example.cfg what happens with specified nodes that have 'install:no'? it boots the archiso images normally? where do you specify which MAC adresses to bind to which configs? (~ "node$num" hostnames?) what happens when a machine boots which is not recognized? how can you send different scripts to different machines? rather then replying everything in this mail, just write the README directly ;) Dieter
