---++ Current Status

   $ 30/3/11 : SL6 is only available at the inf layer. This uses DICE authentication and authorisation services with AFS home directories (see instructions below for an example profile) 

---++ Test SL6 machine

An inf layer SL6 machine, *leeds*, has been installed for computing staff to play with.

---++ How to install an inf layer machine
Your machine's profile should look something like this:
<pre>
#define FIRST_INSTALL
#define INF_FLAVOUR_DICE

#include &lt;inf/os/sl6.h&gt;  <em>/* or sl6_64.h*/</em>
#include &lt;inf/hw/virtualbox.h&gt;  <em>/* use the appropriate header for your model */</em>
#include &lt;inf/options/desktop.h&gt; <em>/* unless it's going to be a headless server */</em>
#include &lt;inf/options/devel.h&gt;
#include &lt;live/wire_forum.h&gt;

!profile.release	mSET(develop)

dhclient.mac		<em>/* your machine's MAC address */</em>
</pre>
