hi guys, when i download a house in a installer package, after i install it do i still need the installable package or can i delete them? i now i've been downloading for a while, but i've always forgot to ask

You can delete them if you want but if you ever want to install them after a reinstall you would have to re-download them.

You can delete them if you want but if you ever want to install them after a reinstall you would have to re-download them.

Not if you back up your downloads.

I sometimes find that I need the original package to hunt down all the files it contained and delete them from my downloads. But I usually just hunt down the package and download it again. I have a lot of disc space, but I don't want to fill it with duplicates.

I put them all on discs, just in case I do need them again. :)

good idea, but unfortunatly my lame cd writer is no longer working and we can't get the right software to install it again, but if we ever fix it i keep it in mind. xxx
