Yes, the idea would be to have a minimal base image of the OS that you would not have to update, or at least not frequently, along with a bare-metal re-installer that you would boot from CD. But, I'm not sure if anyone knows exactly what needs to be in this image for Windows or whether you have to update it after installing windows updates. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
