Sorry, not 'issues' I meant 'users'!

I've putting aside several weeks of schedule to concentrate on this. Although it has to be said not 8 hours per day :) My main gripe is that there just aren't enough users. I feel because it often installs without the media there as default. I feel the installation needs to be better. I've been running a reinstall all morning, and I just saw it exit directory 'media' with nothing to do. I guess it's going to fail, but I'll let it complete and then post here. Thanks for everything. Steve
