Someone's wardialer is on the fritz - I got the "suspended SSN" scam call 18 (seriously) times today - about once every 20 minutes or so ALL DAY LONG .... Once a week is one thing, but this shit is out of hand now. All the same two area codes from random Indiana or the Bahamas - same VM is left each time. Why can't once of these fucks call Captain Oversized Coffee Cup a few hundred times?

Are you doing network images for the BDS install? My Precisions can usually get through the install from a network image in about an hour. The USB media is dog slow for some reason. I tried building a network image off the USB stick - it was faster for me to copy the BDS installer off the stick to local disk and build a base image than it was to run the image builder from the stick.

We tried that too, AC - Installing from our 1Gb backbone network was bad - and copying the image locally seemed to take anywhere from 30-45 minutes plus the painful install time.

Still fighting with that install I started, what, 6 hours ago. It's made it through Showcase, almost.

I wonder if we do business ;)

Another gripe - must remember to strip off all your ANY runtimes if you need to install an older version, for the older versions (say if you have a project that requires say 2012) nothing like getting almost to the end and it starts its rollback and peering through the installer logs to find out that you have VC 2010 SP1 installed and it won't even talk to it - it wants unpatched VC 2010 to install ... or it fails.

THIS IS WHERE YOU FAIL, BASS!
