Cluster Server installation other than default directory

Is anyone aware of any issues that can arise from installing MS SQL Server
2000 on the root of a drive - x:\\MSSQL\Data - instead of using the using
the default structure - x:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data?
I have always installed to the root directory be it stand-alone or clustered
installs without any issues but I need to know whether there might be
issues especially regarding virtual sql servers installs.
Thanks
I have not seen any differences with clustering, you should be fine with any
path, as long as all possible owners have the same paths.

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.
