+=head1 B<Description>
+
+B<rinstall> is a convience command that will change tables as requested for operating system version, profile, and architecture, call nodeset to modify the network boot configuration, and rpower to begin a boot cycle.  If -c is specified, it will then become the 
+text console of the node.  If wanting consoles on multiple nodes with a similar command, see L<winstall(8)|winstall.8>.
