@ GLH,
Agree....regardless of how you copy it though ... you still have to search for patches & Updates with relevant cracks....
The convenience of placing all updates on the CD is good - however, what if 5 minutes after you've finished copying the CD your way, another patch comes out... ??
I personally keep all updates/patches/cracks on a separate CDR & update it, when the Harddrive starts to fill up.
In this, there is no wrong or right answer - its whatever tickles your fancy.
However, I was not aware of how an oversize copy protection could be done via copying / pasting so thankyou.....

.... I've learnt something from this as well........
