The installation process works a treat and sorts all of this out in a nice, warm user friendly way. Is it possible for this package to be made more general and available as an online tool so that discs can be added without having to do battle with the current tools and work it all out ourselves?. If so, could this be added or can the sources for the installation tool be made available so that I or someone else out there can have a go at this?. Cheers Robin
