But then it doesn't have any applications or windows updates, at which point, what's the point? Just install fresh from the CD/DVD... I know a lot of people do the ghosting thing, but other than limited use in a production or testing environment(this being replaced with VM's these days) stamping out installs, I personally haven't seen a whole lot of use for it. -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
