With OpenMosix the kernel does the work (I don't think 
it needs extra daemons).  If you want to experiment, I 
suggest you use an OpenMosix 2.4.20 kernel.  Slackware 9.0 
uses a 2.4.20 kernel, so you can probably get any modules 
you need from there.  I think the LOAF floppy also uses 
2.4.20.

I haven't tried booting the BL2 filesystem with a 2.4.20 
kernel, but it might work without modification.  Then all 
you need to do is add the OpenMosix config files (I don't 
think they are very large).

Cheers,
