Diskless Nodes... (Not Again!)

[Wyatt Draggoo]

I'd wondered about that.  But at 40MB it failed, and at 36MB it didn't have
enough room.  I was hoping that there was something magic that happened at 
64MB.

So, I set it back to 32MB, and took a lot out with vmadlib (I'd somehow missed
that when I was looking before...) and they boot up now.

Does vmadlib automatically grab everything out of /usr/lib/* and /lib/* to 
push
over?  I had a bunch of libraries (gnome, gnome-print, GIMP, etc) going over
when I don't think they need to (obviously not, because they boot without 
them).
 Where does it keep a list of the libraries that the nodes use as compared to
the master?

Thanks,
Wyatt
