We had Raq3's and used the Raq4i restore CD to update the boxes to 4. If you
have a 3i I would use the 4i OSRCD. We purchased a set from Gerald to do
ours. Worked great, as long as your drive is under 30 gig. We had a 40 gig
drive that didn't want to partition correct. The 20 gig we had was fine.
They may have corrected the larger drive issue by now. One reason for a
custom CD is that this way you will have all the patches on the CD there by
dropping the need to patch up to current after the run. The 4 is a much
better build BTW. More add-ons and more then likely a longer update life.
