<pre wrap="">Does this software require the original DVD to be present in order to
use it? If I were to purchase it, I would want to install it in a
Netbook that has no CD/DVD drive. I have a USB DVD drive that I could
use for installation, but I would not want to bring that along with
the Netbook in a mobile situation.

NO You do not need the DVD. The program fully installs itself
entirely on your hard disk, using 3.5 GB of disk space. I have it
running just fine on an Acer ZG5 netbook with a 160 GB.hard disk.

I normally do all my software installs from ISO images of the
original CD-ROMs or DVDs. In the case of the netbook, I did the
initial setup by booting from a copy of the Windows XP Pro install
CD placed on a 1 GB flash drive. Everything else on the machine
was then installed from the 1 TB external hard drive, once the base
Windows install was up and running. <br>

Unlike many software publishers, Undertow is actually overly
conservative about hardware requirements. While they state on the
PM9 website:<br>

</i>I have quite successfully run it with Windows 2000 on an 877
MHz Pentium III with 512K RAM. Actually I'm not sure what they
mean by "1GB" since Windows 7 by itself would barely boot and run
in 1GB RAM..... <br>
