indeed its encouraging to note that we having positive feedback from the WFS ,now i have encountered three cases in Western emanating from Kakamega pilot ,managed to reinstall the same having formatted their PCs , For the Mombasa one because of the logistical matrix involved i explored possibility of sending the DVD via dropbox n other large file sending methods but she could not understand how to go about that . My Question: Now that we are in the process of updating our Kiwix is it still prudent to continue re installing that one ?
