Hi Jeremy,
We have just been planning to make a UK wide FAQ under the TB-Support
pages on
http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/tb-support/faq
where Steve T and the Tier 2 technical co-ordinators will gather all
this kind of information. However, this link won't work as we haven't
created it yet!
For now, I have added Steve's recipe to the London Tier 2 LCG deployment
FAQ at:
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/tier2/london/FAQ.html
I am happy to put relevant items in this until the UK wide FAQ is up and
running (after which point LT2 FAQ will include only London specific
information plus a link to the UK - and other Tier 2 - FAQ's).
cheers,
Owen.
