Client must have root CA certificate?

The following get quoted from SQL book on-line.
"SSL encryption works only with instances of SQL Server 2000 running on a co
mputer that has been assigned a certificate from a public certification auth
ority. The computer on which the application is running must also have a roo
t CA certificate from the s
ame authority."
My question is that my client application run on different host from SQL ser
ver and don't have the SQL server root CA
certificated installed on client host. How my client can talk to the SQL ser
ver and packet is encryped?Install the CA's root certificate on the client.
Cheers
