Hi Erich: But that script won't work prior to OSCAR being installed since it requires libraries from SystemInstaller, etc.
I was merely suggesting a way that a user can know ahead of time what directory to copied the RPMs to - previously it was /tftpboot/rpm, which is nice and easy, with trunk, the user needs to figure out the distro-name-notation to be able to copy the RPMs. Of course the user can just run ./install_cluster ethX first, have it error out, then copy the RPMs to the specified location - but this may not be the friendliest approach. My $0.02.
