I dont recall that some of the earlier builds of
TI8 did, but I'm too lazy to reinstall to check.

One old dinosaur doesnt like the full rescue disk and
never has thru all of the TI8 I have tried on it. Its handy
to have if the system gets so screwed you do need
to use the rescue disk to restore. It does have USB
keyboard and mouse but its just a very minor nuisance
to have to plug the keyboard into the PS2 port instead.

I do use the rescue disk to image a system before doing any
work on it, but find that the full disk is fine on all other PCs.

Thats basically automatic here, mainly because the dinosaur
that needs the safe rescue disk wont read CDRWs so I have
a stack of older builds on CDR for that reason.
