No, that option was not available.  I personally have never seen that
question asked.  I have installed on regular Win2k3 Exchange and SQL
clusters and never seen that question, and they work perfectly.

For the x64 client, the release notes specifically say that the install
cannot be done over the network.  Each system has to be installed one at
a time, locally.
