Cherri,

The entire CD is less than 100Meg.  I suggest you reconsider
putting it on the server.  In the long run it would really save
you time and effort.  By installing it on the server, all you need
to take to the workstation is a boot disk with the network drivers
and a few batch files.

No fooling with cables to hook up the CD.
No crawling under desks to plug in the power adapter.
No special drivers or system reconfiguration needed.
No equipment to lug around from desk to desk.....

And most important of all... parallel port connections have
poor throughput, they absolutely c.r.a.w.l....
