I think y'all are attributing some sinister motives here that
prob'ly aren't deserved. I installed 7.1 from lland.com 2 Cd's
just a few day's ago. When I was asked for a 3rd CD, I just lied
and clicked OK anyhow. Install said, 'can't find' the files and went
online to d/l 'em. When I saw it was just going for
Nutscrape-128, I cancelled the d/l. Install went on to finnish...
no problem. Total Install was still 2.6 gigs. I don't believe
there's that much stuff from 'Power Pack' I could possibly be
missing ;->
