I need to download and burn to CD or someother method. The message below clearly states I will not have internet access during install so the only way I can see doing this is to have the entire install downloaded ahead of time and on either CDR or HD which I can install on the new computer. If you have any info that may help let me know. I already went through the install docs on thw eb site and none seem to address my situation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael G."
