Hello,
I placed SE in /usr/public/packages/RICHPse and exported /usr/public
to all the other hosts, which mount /usr/public. The hardest part
is placing SE in this location. I typically do a normal install of
SE into /opt/RICHPse, install all the patches, and then copy the
directory to the final location.
There are no changes required to SE to get this working.
