Then, to get the latest version, one would need only make sure one had the latest full-install, then apply to it the latest patch, then burn a CD from that. The script should work regardless of whether earlier patches have been applied to the full-install, so long as the series of patch applications began with the most recently distributed full-install. ------=_NextPart_000_0020_01C52B05.17B7F5D0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2604" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>The patches for quite a while (at least six months) can be applied equally well to the installer as well as the installation.
