Will try this. Thanks for the vote of confidence but since that was a fairly labor intensive way of doing it and came at a time when 'setup.exe' wasn't as equipped as it is today to handle this more directly, I would no longer advocate going that route. Using 'setup.exe' at the command line and specifying the packages you want is a better way to go. > PS To avoid getting bounced by the MAILER-DAEMON I have removed the > original message. Thanks. Including the pointer to the original email is definitely the preferred alternative here. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
