<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We would like to install this new version of Scyld
software and we are currently running -7 version. When we originally
installed -7 our nodes didn't have floppies or cdroms so we had to crack each
case and hook up a floppy to get it booted once. This took considerable
time. Once all the nodes were booted, we moved the boot image to each
node's individual harddisk. Now I am wondering how we can avoid this
again. If we install -8 onto our master node will the nodes come up in
enough of a condition with their -7 bootimage to rewrite a new boot image to
their harddisks? Otherwise I am assuming I will need a -8 boot image to
write to the node disks before I even install -8 on the master. I hope
this isn't confusing.</FONT></DIV>
