Does the installer tool have a way to build a "web" installer that will allow the initial download to be small and then pull data down as it installs it? That would allow the introduction of some granularity in the installer as well - people could get the bits they want and not download the stuff they don't. g. -- Proud owner of F-15C 80-0007 http://www.f15sim.com - The only one of its kind. http://www.simpits.org/geneb - The Me-109F/X Project Some people collect things for a hobby.
