Thanks, yes.  But I would like to test the process by
creating and booting a one-node (or at most two-node)
cluster and then "grow" it later to a larger cluster.
Is this possible?  If so, what parts/scripts of the
howto will I have to re-do when I am ready to grow
it from one-node (or two-nodes) to many?

Thanks,
Dan
