For installing the SDK, I would give you the same advice that was given
to me by (I think) Marcus, and that is, *don't* use the install
programs. They are pieces of crap. There are directories on the CD
which contain the individual files, which you can copy to your hard
drive, and for the target machine, you can use Laplink or some such, to
get better transfer rates then crummy old 19.2 or 38.4. I would also
sugest browsing over the concepts manual (and then browsing the OmniGo
manual if applicable), then actually reading and completing the tutorial
book, and refering to the tools book when needed.
