Re: Current cume 5298

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete,
Sounds reasonable. I did check the system that did not prompt me for 2nd 
pass
and it installed MF36564 during this one install. I'm not sure what the 
trigger is
that will call for that 2nd pass. I do know that this system had more recent
hipers than other system which prompted 2nd pass.
Given that many systems will prompt this 2nd run of option 8, this is not 
the cume
to split for a beer immediately after loading the cd's.
