Hehe, thanks Dave but, like Ben said, I'm currently in Sweden (if anyone 
cares I'm in Gävle right now, going Stockholm tomorrow) and when I get 
back to Australia in a coupla weeks there isn't enough time between when 
I land in Perth and my connecting flight back to Broome.

When I get near another computer, possibly some time  later tonight 
(~19:00 in Sweden right now), I'll try both my Installation CD's and see 
if they get past the first stage.

Cheers
Kai
