But only if your computer you will install on is build 1996 or older. 
On newer hardware you'll have to work for some days to get an install 
working and thereafter you'll have to fiddle around for days only to 
get and then install the fixes you need. More current disks are too 
fat to get it partitoned. You'll have more RAM than the old WARP is 
willing to accept.

eComStation is designed to work happyly with any newer computer.
The most current version installs even on AMD64 with 4GB RAM, 2TB HD, 
recognises DVDs and highspead CDs, handles USB even during install, 
knows of current graphic cards, most on board sound, installs network 
problemless, .......

Beside the partitoning and formatting you'll ready to connect to 
internet in 20 minutes.

No need to know commands to get ecomstation installed. During boot 
from CD you can even install a disk driver from other source than the 
installation CD if there is a need for. USB is recognised in default, 
the installer knows of mot modern network cards and if the network 
card you have in the computer is non on CD you can easy install it 
during base install from diskm USB stick, floppy even before the first 
file gets copied to disk by the installer.

Oh, fixpack handling is easy. When the installer is finished you're 
ready to connect to internet. You'll download and install the 
mainenace tool that will give you any current fixes and drivers ready 
to download by a single mouse click.

You'll get a significant discount of the prise for eCS when you 
already owns a WARP license.
