[Planetlab-users] How to recover from suspended slice?

[Lachlan Andrew]

Greetings Vivek,

Oops, I'm probably the one wholet this slide...  I've inherited care
of those nodes by default, and don't know much about the process.

I think those nodes have failed floppy disks.  On the web, I saw how
to create floppies for new nodes, but couldn't find how to regenerate
new floppies for existing nodes, especially nodes for which I know
nothing except the IP addresses...

If I promise to get on to this in the next week, could you re-enable
the slide while I'm working on it?

Thanks!
Lachlan
