Are there any possible implications by not having the full .net installer saved on the hdd? There's nothing for me to stay true to, just a matter of practicality of which saves space, does the job (quicker), and cause no problem. My question for this is, there are times in XP where when some files are missing, it looks for the installer and if the installer is missing (such as when they were on an old share), it'd give a popup looking for the installer. Given there are no implications, the slim is of course the best way to go. Sorry to complicate simple matters, but it's good for me to know. Thanks!
