Once you know how the daemons and SGE settings interact, it's not necessary at 
all to run any installer on the execution nodes.

- Install qmaster on a machine (GUI or CLI).
- Share /usr/sge to all nodes.
- Add all designated exechosts as admin hosts on the headnode: for i in 
{001..88}; do qconf -ah node$i; done
- On each node startup the execd, they will be added as exection hosts 
automatically.
- Add the exechosts to a queue/hostgroup.

- Optional but often worthwhile: add sgeexecd to the nodes startup: cp 
/usr/sge/default/common/sgeexecd /etc/init.d; chkconfig sgeexed 35

==

In big clusters you often have some kind of Golden Client, which is copied to 
all nodes lateron. So it would also be a one-time setup. With a non-uniform 
cluster I lately used openSUSE autoyast via PXE boot to install them and copy a 
handful of files in the autoyast profile to the proper location which includes 
the above mentioned steps to make SGE available.
