Sep 19, 2012 10:44am Chris Evans (457) 1614 posts	Are the contents of HardDisc4 (tarball) & HardDisc4 (self-extracting) the same? From the descriptions I’m not sure! The large difference in size 10.2GB & 14.4GB suggests to me they probably are different! If they are the same, can I suggest the descriptions say that!
