Well, I may not have it right, but since the other nodes do a network 
boot from the image on the main node, then they don't need to have 
Fedora installed.  They could even be diskless.  However, since I'm 
just getting started on an SSIC setup, I could be completely wrong 
here.

I have not tried Fedora 8 yet, but would be interested in working it 
out.  It's proving to be a significant pain to configure Fedora 3 to 
support out current work environment, which requires more recent 
compilers/etc.
