Need some advice. I want to get this puppy but I'm going to have to download
it on another computer and transfer the download back home here to install
it on this system. I only have a simple dial up here and from the size of
the DL I'd probably be off line on the group here for the next ten years
while it came in at 56kbs Our office computer has the DSL I need to get
the program downloaded.
Anyway, what I need to know is this. Has anyone else done what I'm going to
do? (download and go to CD's on one computer and install on a second?
I'm going to have to put the program on several CD's to get it back here
from the office.
Once I get it downloaded and on the desktop, I'll only have the built in
burn program that comes with XP to get everything on the disks. I'm assuming
it will take at least two 800 meg CD's (I use Memorex CDRW 800's).
I've never transferred a program to a CD that took more than one disk. Can I
do this with what I have and not corrupt anything during the switch from the
first CD to the second?
When you do this, will the first CD stop at a complete file and tell you to
insert another CD or should I explore the program, and manually select files
that will go on the first CD without splitting up a file?
In other words, I just need a bit of advice as to how this is going to work
and what I need to know to do it right!
Thanks much as always,
Dudley
