Hans -

	Ah! Can I use a pcmica network card on the z50 and grab the install off of a ftp server?
	I've access to a large amount of bandwidth at the office and wouldn't mind using it for this purpose.

	I don't have another system that sees the CompactFLASH so any way around that option is the way I'll go! :)
