RE: Out of Box Experience for Cheetah.

Mark,

Don't you think that it would be best if IBM were to query the machine for
type of CPU, number of CPUs (I believe that the OS will recognize the core
as a seperate CPU), and the amount of available memory?

You could then either query the user during the install process as to how
many cpus they want to allocate, the amount of memory, etc ... and then
create your base configuration from that?

That way your "out of the box" will be a good approximation.
