Please tell me how you went when you try an install it from a DVD (if 
this is what you are going to be using).

I created a DVD from the 6 discs and 10.2 will NOT go past the first 
attempt to connect to the server to get the new updates and the source. 
Keeps coming up with the error message that there is "No products to 
register". Bloody stupid thing! Installing via the CDs is fine.

Cheers.
