Should be about 594 MB. Did you use autostreamer from autopatcher.com? Sandman will be posting a program he wrote called simpleslipper in a couple days.

Yep. I have used that procedure also with no problem. Autostreamer does it all except burn the cd. Sandmans simpleslipper even burns the cd for you.

Very glad indeed :) Thanks for trying SimpleSlipper out Jimmymac. I am happy to hear SS1.3a worked for you.
Per, SS2 is almost done I SWEAR IT lol. I've changed the layout quite a bit since you tested it last. I think the new layout will make SimpleSlipper 2 much easier to use and understand. Drop me a line if you'd like to see the latest build.
