Hi Mike, Thanks for the email. A few questions here to clarify what you're saying. I am running the Crowbar administration node with Ubuntu. Offhand, I believe I am running crowbar 1.7. Are you saying that I would be able to use the provisioner barclamp to install any ISO image I want to a booting machine?
I heard and read that in crowbar 2.0, this capability will exist, but in 1.X it does not. Does this sound right to you?

The provisioner barclamp is the one which installs the core OS, and it supports different flavors of operating systems. https://github.com/crowbar/barclamp-provisioner Our hadoop releases use CentOS or RedHat EL for the operating system, while the crowbar administration node runs Ubuntu. The 'dev' tool supports these alternatives in the build environment. mike _______________________________________________ Crowbar mailing list Crowbar@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/crowbar For more information: http://crowbar.github.com/
