Cool. I'm trying to upload something simpler, stay tuned.
I feel your pain. I can't get a straight answer to many of these questions we share. If even the veterans can't agree on where to put certain files, how the heck can us noobs hope to figure it out? We'll just keep plugging along, maybe to find consensus one day.
<edit> Using the ShivanSPS/Turey install as a base, I've removed every unneeded file and directory, added a couple of nifty tweaks, wrote a cool readme, and 7zipped it to fit on two CD's.
Then I spent a couple of days uploading. Then I downloaded to make sure they weren't corrupt.
Much time spent, MUCH time.
Only one problem...it takes 45 minutes to decompress, and this isn't a slow machine! OUCH!
OK, maybe I should have used RAR. Back to the drawing board.
The links are uploaded, if you don't mind waiting an eternity for decompressing, I'll post them.
<edit> OK, the rar's are 83 MB larger, but decompress in 5 minutes. So, does it take 40 minutes to download 83MB?
<edit> It's done.
