Hi Jimmy,
You are obviously the expert in this area. I have couple of questions:
I'll be doing a clean install w/XP, then TS2K
Questions:
1)Have you ever experienced any integrity/funny issues that didn't exist
before using the copy of the Omega folder prior to installing TS2k?
2)I guess better not have indicators/workspaces/etc. w/ same name as those
created by TS2k when it does the install otherwise your copy will be
overwritten?
3)How do you force GS to reindex?
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
