Thanks for your reply. It's the thought of all the updates which has made me wonder even more if just the first two CDs would be sufficient. I see that there is also a "mini iso" for a basic installation, downloading other things as needed. It may be worth going along that road. But I would appreciate some advice on the "mini iso" first, if anyone has used it. TTFN? Ah! ITMA - the good old days! Cheers Keith
