Go up one level in this thread


Thats great to know, thanks.
Is this stuff in the cm manual or website someplace?
Maybe I am just not seeing this stuff in the cm manual.
Anything i read on here about cm8000 that i can not find in my manual i have
been printing and putting it in the back of my cm manual.

Thanks again.

JP

BTW: that other tip you gave me about adding a file so i could run cm well
keeping cd 1 in my drive and never having to put cd 2 in worked great :)
