A lot of folks on this list are hands on, command-line types who sneer 
at GUI's :)  HOWEVER:
If you use the conga bits to create a cluster, you just have to enter 
the FQDN's for your cluster nodes and their passwords in a secure form, 
and click create. Then if you want, you never, never, ever have to use 
the GUI again...you can tinker to your hearts content with configuration 
files and prompt commands with six switches in them.
Or, you could
1) download/up2date all the necessary RPMs and kernel pieces yourself to 
all of the nodes
2) create a skel cluster config file
3) copy it around to all of the nodes via scp
4) start the cluster services by hand on each node (careful, order matters!)
5) ssh around and check that every node has joined...if not, run the 
join command...

Know what I mean? ;)
