For those who need to maintain or re-install the old versions of OSCAR:

• Download the oscar-repo-common-rpms and the oscar-repo-DISTRO-VER-ARCH tarballls suitable for the distribution(s). Unpack them in /tftpboot/oscar.
• Download the oscar-base tarball. Unpack it in an appropriate directory. Rename the unpacked directory, if you want (e.g. /opt/oscar)

• In the unpacked directory (e.g. /opt/oscar) execute: ./install_cluster ETH_INTERFACE

  (ETH_INTERFACE is the cluster internal interface on the head node, e.g. eth0).
