Tron isn't actually released till later today in the UK so I don't have it yet but I understand it is being circulating on DVD - is this gonna give me the same hassle as MGS- Substance?

I did make a backup of MGS-Substance from the superb guide povided on this forum, but it proved such a hassle and time consuming job:

a: to do
and
b: to install from

that I've actually never used it & just install from the original DVD

If it ever fails I guess I'll have to resort to my HDD killing 10cd-r backup - and then all fun playing with the registry

I'm just wondering how tron is best backed up - previous Lithtech engine games (AvP NoLF etc) haven't been particularly space eating.

I assume the game isn't going to be zipped into nice little self extracting 640mb packets for my convenience - wouldn't that be nice!

I'm going to be doing this in later today and my 1st thoughts on how to do it is:-

Winrar it up onto multiple cd's, unpack it to a temp directory then install straight from the HDD, delete the image and then use a no DVD patch.

Will that work - or will that not put the reg keys in - or give me other problems.

I expect you guys know how to do it, so I thought I'd ask first, I guess it's out in the US already as the NO DVD crack is available. So you guys probably have already done it.

p.s. IT IS ON DVD ISN'T IT??? I'm not completely wasting your and my time??
