[WBEL-users] Problems with whitebox 3 respin2

[decampbell1]

I may try installing the bare server package then, once configured and 
running, try installing additional packages. I am redownloading (is that a 
word?)  all discs using bittorrent now and will probably try that set of 
discs first.

Thanks

Dave
