yes thats true, the documentation is quite 'thin'. I contacted him by private 
mail some time ago, and then he gave me detailed instructions. and his tools 
surely need some tweaking and bugfixing (e.g. there are some hardcoded values 
like IP adresses..) , but as far as I know, nobody else seems to be 
interested in his work (he told me I was the first person ever who contacted 
him for his cluster plugin) so there was probably no need to develop it any 
further.

well, that might be true. I didn't look into it, as my clients root-fs is 
located on the server anyway (via nfsroot).
