They are the 7 regular CD's and 1 DVD. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe.. I tell you what you should see.

No. Note, that it is called 'update', not 'upgrade'.

Can I do a complete fresh install of 8.1 with these CD's?

Yes. I could, this means it must be really easy:-))

Does this version contain all 7 CD's/1 DVD?

In Germany it does. I suppose it is identical in any country:-) You will get two complete sets of install media; the 7CD set and the one DVD containing all the stuff in one piece. The major difference between full version and update is, you will have only one book instead of three. Up to now, I didn't have a single look into my one book. It wasn't necessary. Throw in disk(s), boot, install, enjoy. (and eventually read my postings on SCSI emulation ..)

Thanks
