I think the MU installation scripts do both progress
and error report. I do not know why this has not
been ported to the install_cluster.
If the install_cluster script is always the same (I think
all it does is basically run patchadd for every patch in
patch_order) you could edit the script, save it elsewhere
and run your copy for every patch cluster instead of the
bundled one.
