RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] RE: An EMC question

yes, the EMC stuff should be installed from a hard-drive installation of the
BDI. the problem you will run into is that you will not have enough room
for the installation files AND a system on your computer, 800 megs is enough
for the file OR the system (i installed in 256 meg just fine) i would try
to find another drive for your lap-top, i bet you can pick up a cheap pcmcia
drive somewhere (im assuming you have pcmcia slots) the you SHOULD be able
to put the instllation on the pcmcia drive and then install directly off it.
anyway, good luck to you!
