We can use KiXtart to do the installation of coMosix on domain members nodes (The microsoft XP machines).

comosix/ `-- omrootfs -> /srv/comosix/omrootfs
This is the most sensitive part. In these directories, numerous modifications are performed. If you do not know how to test the system, you may be interested on this. Otherwise, you can ask the comosix project developpers for more help!
