    44= Welcome to '''Sali'''! =
     5Here at Sara we use [http://wiki.systemimager.org SystemImager] to install our nodes on different types of clusters. With [http://wiki.systemimager.org SystemImager] you can create a clone of your system and distribute this clone via various ways ( ie. rsync, bittorrent, flamethrower and floppy disks ). To install a image on a node [http://wiki.systemimager.org SystemImager] needs a linux kernel and initrd to boot the target system. You can used the kernel that has been included in the [http://wiki.systemimager.org SystemImager] installation or you user own kernel. The initrd contains some essential tools to prepare your system for the installation. [http://wiki.systemimager.org SystemImager] also supplies a so called BOEL. This BOEL is a extra collection of utilities ( ie. OpenSSH, e2fsprogs ).

     7But the current inird and BOEL binaries of [http://wiki.systemimager.org SystemImager] is quite old. So we created Sali to replace only the kernel, initrd and BOEL. Also we only focussed on PXE installations with rsync and/or Bittorrent. So no floppy or flamethrower/multicast support in the initrd of Sali. Because we are focussing on PXE installation we desided to move the utilities from the BOEL to initrd.
