Okay, I'll keep it in mind, and perhaps give it a try if nobody can
shed any light on the current install. The only reason I'm reluctant
is that I'm on a satellite ISP - and a small and expensive traffic cap -
so sucking down full install CDs would presumably chew up a lot of
my allocation. That's why I chose the small CD network install - I
figured it'd hold the download down to just what was needed.
