I think I used parallelKNOPPIX in the past by simply booting several CDs. OK, maybe I'll try the cross-over cable. Do I just connect 2 ethernet cards from 2 distinct PCs with an ethernet cable or do I need a special cable or port? I'd like to get all 50 cores running, but this should get me 4.
I have the KNOPPIX DVD installed to an hdd partition. So my installation is very simple but it includes Octave. We simply added public key authentication to every node and some batch files to split up jobs. We do not have NFS running nor do I have MPI installed. Do you mean I can simply copy code from your CD and I should be able to get it to work on my setup?
I've also had the QUANTION DVD installed in the past that included stuff from Octave-Forge, CRAN and openMOSIX.
The article is similar to your online tutorial so it seems accurate as far as I can tell (not ever getting pelicanHPC to boot its hard for me to judge)....
Thanx,
