The install was done from the latest Action Pak release delivered in the middle
of May.

My associate has been to a number of T2 conferences including one earlier this
week on Small Business Server and did not get any new disks.

I think the Production - Resale - version are better labeled and come with
better instructions for installation then we get with the Action Pak versions.

My associates problems we related to needing updated drivers from HP for his new
server.  I purchased his Compaq which is about 2 years old and didn't have any
driver issues. 

My problem was with the network connection wizard not writing the correct
values.  A pain, but easily corrected.

I will be completing the install over the weekend and will find out if there are
any other problems.
