About the only thing easier is losing the USB stick hen I need it, which is probably the main reason I do it this way. I believe it's also possible to do this with PXE, meanng you don't even need multiple copies of the file... unless your PXE server needs rescuing. I always have it on a USB stick too, but that's for fixing other people's computers :) -- Neil Bothwick Idaho - It's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there.
