Is the NEW & IMPROVED installer, install.pl, a drop in replacement for
build.sh?

I recently wrote a set of build scripts that are used to build a
distribution (kernel + modules + root file system) for deployment
elsewhere. (i.e. a non-native build of everything including OFED).

In the OFED 1.2 installer, I used this method of invocation:

/build.sh -c

wherein, build.sh locates the config file, "ofed.conf" in the same
directory. That worked.

The statement about "run on all cluster nodes" appears to indicate a
non-native build is no-longer possible.

Cheers,
DK
