Details are in NTREADME.HLP. Compaq Support Software Setup Utility The new setup utility for the Compaq SSD for Windows NT uses an entirely different Graphical User Interface (GUI) than older versions of Setup. The new GUI is more visual and straightforward, while giving more flexibility of new features in terms of functionality. The new features of this interface are the following: - Remote Installation-Added the ability to install, remove, update, and configure components remotely via machine name. The new Setup 2.01 is no longer constrained to the local machine, as past Setup versions have been. - Command Line Installation-Added the ability to install, remove, update, and configure components from the command line. This option allows most of the functionality of the GUI interface, but with no output other than to a log file. This type of Setup is desired for SMS and SmartStart Configurations.
