The common wisdom seems to be that a network install will beat a cd install simply because the medium is faster, and you do not have ot futz around with swapping cd's etc. I lose cd's, floppies, bits of paper. Ideally information (that includes documentation, legal files, software et al) should be available online with good search tools. > > If anyone else wants the tree let me know - I have it on a laptop. > > -- > Robert Fisher > www.fisher.net.nz > > >
