Not me. So I tried. I have used the standard tools /install/tools/install++.
I get the following response.

Computing installable set for //acn25d10
Installation requires 0 blocks
Now I understand the link problem, I do not have /bsd4.3 or /sys5.3 or /sr9.7_compatibility
installed on every node. But why does this install patch even care? When you read
the documentation it only fixes something in /usr/apollo/bin which is a real directory
on all my nodes.
The 'installation requires 0 blocks' seems to indicate that nothing has changed on the
disk being installed. An when you look at the ts of the module in question after the
install, it is obviously the old one and does not correspond to the ts of the module
in the ../install/patch_m121... directory.
I have run the install process twice, once as roger.sys_admin an once as root. Results
have been the same.
I can copy the patch module around myself, but is this the 'proper' methodology?
Anyone's thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

I`m sure, I might be wrong, but I`m sure.
