Our user should use this CD as first step . Once they find that there are really useful tools they should install and use it . So yes Installation will have problem . (We may also provide CUI installation , which will be fast ) But "www-developer" use it for very short time . Once he is convinced , he will install it . This normally take few days . > > Hm.
