Release Candidate 0.

[Philip Papadopoulos]

This is now available on beta7.rocksclusters.org.

Expectations of differences between this and a final release

*  ironing out the last issues with a restore roll

*  installation documentation to match the new installer.

*  may move to serf to process 411 changes

*  cluster-kickstart code either removed are made to work

Things that are now working:

*  setting bootflags (rocks set bootflags) now properly updates grub2 config

*  hostbased authentication (seems) to be working properly

*  rocks-console works for  nodes that install in headless mode.

   - vnc server listens only to connections from localhost when installing headless

*  devel-server doesn't have  weird directories created at the top-level (ordering issue)

*  adapted to change in python re code (new)

*  Try to make rocks-partition a little more resilient to oddball hardware.

*   Nodes do not automatically reinstall (this caused more email). There is no

    installation ramdisk/kernel on the nodes.

The Centos and Updates are current through Saturday.

Please report back to the list items that are not working so that we can all move to a fully-released

version.
