My suggestion is: do not include them on the download ISOs. If you have the bandwidth to get the ISOs with any degree of speed, you can do a net install on the servers. This is not true of the boxed versions or even the media purchases from the store. In that case, include the server pacakages on the CDs then. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly.
