Ah. I did a <ctrl>V and nothing happened.

:-(

If that's the case, I might well end up doing the same.
I've put some of my installation CDs onto a memory stick
(it's quicker than from an optical drive). I have folders
for my desktop VRPC and for my laptop (which I'm using now)
and each folder has the updates applicable to that serial
number.

I can always use this laptop to transfer any other CD/DVD
based software to a memory stick or just use the network.

However, I'd like to pursue my original tack unless it
proves unworkable.
