It does not seem to adversely affect the installation but just that they appeared at all made me somewhat apprehensive. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it normal? Does anyone know what causes it? Is it possibly caused by a slow floppy drive? Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Phillip Smith Anomaly@bga.com
