Actually, on clean installs I get sneaky ... I format the hard drive then I create c:\windows\options\cabs then copy all the files in the \win9x directory of the CD to that directory, reboot with a clean boot disk (without CD drivers) then run setup from there. When Windows prompts for a destination directory it'll say c:\windows.000, I just delete the .000 bit. That way, later on when it needs to look for the cab files, it'll find them (if you initially copied the setup files to say c:\winsetup then delete that directory it'll keep prompting to go there unless you change 2 or 3 registry keys which I can never remember the locations of). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
