BCCD at SC09 - Ubuntu ISO being built for Intel to image the laptops with pre-conference. Skylar's working on this in VirtualBox. Kevin has put the packages we'll need in a ticket for the Ubuntu ISO.
Testing
- Some MPI programs work, some don't. Aaron is sending the output Skylar was looking for.
- Going forward use Trac tickets for all bugs, Skylar will setup users for Aaron, Gus, and Sam. #412
- With "linux 5" the X screen starts as the password prompt is happening. #413
- Periodic errors reading the KNOPPIX file system during bootup, it may be a bad CD drive or media. Try to replicate with USB drives and a current generation ACL.
- Boot option for "knoppix testcd" frobbed. #414
- Liberation to LittleFe is next bit of testing to do. Test the full suite of supplied software and labs with all the MPI libraries we support. #415
Packages to add near-term: #416
- SMP kernel support
- OpenMP
- CUDA - to big to add to ISO, need to explore it as a package with a one-time download.
