The idea is that you can use this CD to setup a new system, or repair a broken one. One note: to make the CD bootable, your long file names are restricted to 30 characters, and you will not be able to access dirs that have long names unless you are in windows (dos prompt in windows or windows explorer)
also, no two sub dirs or file names in the same dir can start off with the same 8 characters. Filenames in DOS are truncated, but don't have the 123456~1.123 123456~2.123 format, the file 1234567890.123 would appear in DOS as 12345678.123. this is why they aren't accessable unless windows is running.
Our store CD has about 590 megs of stuff on it. Pretty sweet!!!
