Re: [K12OSN] Mosix and K12ltsp

["Richard Camp" <rcamp campworld net>]

The best way is to compile the kernel.  However you must download the kernel sources from kernel.org.  Mosix works well under the ltsp 
envirement.  The "Contrib" area at www.ltsp.org has a mini howto on this.   The contributor provides pre compiled kernels for ltsp.  I have 
not used any of his packages.   There is no good howto out there.  If there is enough interest,  I will post my notes on the process of 
setting up mosix.  The notes lack in detail at times but they may make a good begining for a howto.
