Does it do its scan before or after downloading the template? After the dial-up connection dropped out half way through downloading the .template file, I gave it the ultimate answer (42) to continue, but it aborted, amongst other things saying that /media/dvd was skipped. It restarted from where it left off, but if it won't scan the original media, then will it try to download the whole iso after the .template file? -- Regards Simon
