OK, got ya! :)

I'm not 100% sure of this, since my RAC knowledge is all on high end Unix boxes rather than Intel. On those OS's, where there is no option to isntall on a clustered file system like Compaq's, the install loads on one machine and then rcp's to the other nodes you specify automatically for you. Can anyone with more Intel knowledge than me confirm whether something similar happens there?
