perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[kunal shroff <>]

hello,

I was following the instructions to install the rrd-ma as described at 
http://wiki.perfsonar.net/jra1-wiki/index.php/Installation_MA .
i have also been looking into the perfSONAR-MDM-3.0 and plan to 
reinstall rrd-ma following the instructions in the admin guide, will get 
back to youll once i have completed this.

thanks
kunal
