Do people
really use tether to install Redhat-Athena from small-gods via NFS?
If so, then we definitely do have a problem here and we should sit
down at a table with a white board nearby to work this out better.
I doubt anyone has tried! NFS is far less efficient than FTP for
getting large files across, so if anyone tried, I'm sure they gave up
pretty quickly.
The solution I have in mind is to use the SRVD/SPM solution for
Redhat-Athena installtions from small-gods, but also provide a set of
RPMs that people can install to layer Athena on pure Redhat machines.
I'm just proposing that these RPMs not be a part of the small-gods
installation.
This proposed solution is fine with me. It's what I've been asking for,
basically.
