I would like a link to either where there may be a full blown DVD image of 6.0 or a torrent. 2. If not the above, the layout used to create the DVD image. Now allow me to explain 1 and 2 so there isn't anymore wild answers to questions users seem to think they read. Reason 1: If installing more then just the base OS (allow me to say that one key word, INSTALL) then swapping out the CD's is not something I'm willing to spend 3 hours doing (perhaps that was an embellishment after the fact). Reason 2: If there isn't a DVD image to download (either in whole or torrent) then the layout would allow me to create my own INSTALL DVD with my curent 6.0 roms. There - now that I have taken the time to eplain this, I hope there isn't anymore confusion as to what I'm asking. Best regards, Chris Sanity and insanity overlap a fine gray line.
