So it's actually better to have a link than not, even if it's to the wrong cd of several (a rare case I'd guess). Actually, I'm not a new user and I do lots of installs. I personally would like to see a default link setup -- it's one less thing I have to do. I wouldn't mind if Matt's suggested dialog was medium in the case of multiple detected devices, but I rarely put two cd's of any kind in one box. Stephen -- Stephen R.
