+ <p>Note that the command specified with the <c>-rsh</c> flag is
+ treated as a file name which may contain spaces. It is thus not
+ possible to include any command line options. The remote node will
+ be launched as <c>"$RSH" "$REMOTE_HOSTNAME" erl -detached -noinput
+ ...</c>, so the
+ <c>erl</c> command must be found in the path on the remote host.</p>
+
<p>The slave node is to use the same file system at the master. At
least, Erlang/OTP is to be installed in the same place on both
computers and the same version of Erlang is to be used.</p>
