The basic install of eCS 1.2 is indeed a walk in the park; I can install
after a full day of work without problems. And if one tries the
migration, a working backup is always recommended.

Nice to have installed as a *baseline*, acrobat reader 4, escape gl, flash
5, mozilla 1.7 ga,scitech snap/se. I was pleasantly surprised that rsj
5.06 was also included - the cd burning speed and the dvd burn size
limited but very nice - working out-of-the-box with the CD able to be read
without attaching the CD drive *without* modification by the user.

I am glad someone fixed that mild bug where you click on a html file and
Netscape 4.61 tries to launch; much cleaner to have Mozilla do the
reading.

As for PM VNC Server, the icons in the folder sure are pretty.

Newer versions do not necessarily imply improvement. IMO, compared to
Warp 3, Warp 4, eCS 1.0 and eCS 1.1, eCS 1.2 is vastly superior. Nicely
done.
