 Hi Michael,

  Don't give up yet. I have FAI working just fine, installing two beowulf 
clusters at the lab where I work (one 10 machines and the other 16). I took 
some time to get used to it, reading the manual, but then I finally got it 
and put it to work the way I wanted in a few tries.
  I don't have the time right now to explain the details but if you or anybody 
else wants it I can send some example configuration directories and some 
notes as soon as I get some spare time, ok?
 So just send me an e-mail if you're interested...

regards

Claudio
