Family Album Question

[Ameer Antar]

well the way it's s'posed to work is the dealer is sent an 'family album' 
cd, [he wouldn't download a compressed version like we do]. He would take 
the cd and then stick in the machine, installing it from the cd. He then 
has the option of doing a cd or hd install. If he has very limited hd space 
he would do the cd install and have to keep the cd in drive whenever he ran 
the program. So you can't burn a cd from the cd install option, that option 
assumes yer installing from a cd and will use that cd for the data. The 
compressed files are just an exact copy of the original cd, so when you 
uncompress the files, then you need to use your cd-burning software [comes 
w/ the burner] and then copy all those files to the cd. Then you have the 
same thing as the dealer and install to hd or use cd install option. Of 
course if you don't have a burner, then the only option is to do hd 
install. Hope this clears up any confusion...
