If it must go out to the net, can it do that? Probably not at that stage. Many of us can not afford to have an extra machine around to read online documentation while doing an install. The install is on the only machine we have. Of course, I know some of you are flush with extra HW just setting around just waiting to do some browsing, but I for one, find food and even housing to be important expenses that need to be covered. ////jerry > > -lewiz. > > --=20 > I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. --Bob Dylan, 1964. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------
