Thank you, John, Ron and Mikkel for your explanations as to where to
put the --noclean command. I just could not sort out how to run a
command at the same time as clicking on a GUI! Oh, and thank you
Pavel for suggesting the command.
All is now perfectly clear.
The reason for the original posting is that I am on a capped broadband
and, once the upgrades and new programs are downloaded, I would
rather have them on a CD than have to use a big slice of my allowance
by having to download them again if I had to reinstall 2006 for any
reason.
Cheers
Keith
