You don't have to read everything on the CD, because we all know that would take forever, plus some of it is crap!!! What you do want to do is familarize yourself with the layout of the CD. Your goal should be to be able to find what you are looking for on the CD in less than 30 seconds. As Casey said "It is a tool to overcome challenges", you really don't want to ever have to use the CD but if you do, you want to make it quick!!!! Trust me when I tell you......every minute is important.... ---------------------- Chris A. ---------------------- "Hubert Pun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I just want to confirm that spending time with the Cisco CD is the most > important thing in pursuing for CCIE.
