Re: installing RDi

I mention the admin profile only because I've been tripped up by security
issues (posting hard errors) on previous versions on RDi and/or iSphere
when installing from my user-level program products repository.

If the new(er) and awesomely simple RDi installation process eliminates
security issues, I'm glad to know it.
