Thanks, Mark.  Once hard disks got big enuf, storing the install files
on the system disk was the best solution for us.

Tj,

A penny saved is a penny earned...

I saw you were with a university - I assumed others interested in the
question aren't!

In other words, YMMV!

Good luck,

Mark

We're a small university trying to serve 2000 students and 500
faculty/staff.

Yes, we have a bandwidth issue.  No, it shouldn't slow things down that
much.  Yes, group policies should work flawlessly.  No, users shouldn't

open
documents without scanning for viruses first.  Yes, your government =3D
should
work effectively and efficiently with a minimum of fiscal waste.

However...   :)

You must have a bandwidth "issue" - it shouldn't slow things down very
much...

We did the install from a network share for a short while.  But network
congestion made Detect & Repair and Install First Use quite slow.  So we
started copying the install files to the local hard drives and =3D
installing
from there.

Since we clone 95% of our PCs, this didn't cause us much extra work.
