Instant-Grid is a Knoppix-based live-CD bundled
with a pre-configured grid environment based on
the Globus Toolkit. One PC started from this CD
becomes the Instant-Grid frontend. It also
functions as a PXE boot-server, allowing other PCs
in the same local network to boot the Instant-Grid
environment. Together with the frontend, these PCs
automatically form a working test grid. Like with
the original Knoppix, the existing configuration
of the participating PC is not touched (except
maybe for enabling the PXE boot-option), and
remains instantly available by a simple reboot.

Changes:
This version is based on Knoppix 5.1.1, which improves support for more recent hardware. The English documentation has been expanded, many function tests have been automated, and the workflow stability has been improved.
