Yeah that sucks, you should pick yourself up a copy though! Make life a whole lot easier! ;-) Too bad it's not like the old days with factory disks, where all you had to do was unzip the archives and you could build yourself a installing of whatever OS came on the CD. Now everything is images, which would be a little bit harder to figure out. Heheh, I'm all about clean installs of the OS only type of thing, no factory BS.

Just my two cents...
