My CDRom drive is not supported, so I need to copy the necessary directories to my hard drive. 1. Which dirs are required for the X-Developer distribution? 2. And if I copy the entire CD-Rom to my hard disk, will it only install the options for the X-Developer distribution, or will the install program expand ALL of the files it finds on the hard disk I am installing from (like a FULL installation) ? 3. Are PCMCIA modems supported, or only serial ones? 4. How do I install additional pieces later without re-installing the whole system? Thanks, Elizabeth
