| | Source Directory Hi Can anyone tell me if there is a source directory for install files on CD that can be copied to the hard drive? In Windows98/2000/XP I could copy the i386 directory to the hard drive, and change the sourc path in the registry to point to the hard drive. Then instead of asking for a windows CD when installing progs or drivers, the computer would happily read it from the hard drive. Saves a lot of messing around for the users. Can aynone help Cheers Lewej |
