No offense guys, but isn't about time to stop this thread? If all you're
worried about is the doc CD version, then either you are very prepared for
the lab, or you're way off from what you should be focusing on. What they
give you is plenty functional, so suck it up and stop whining.

Your mileage may vary on that. I would highly recommend being familiar with
the old interface *and* the new interface. As others have mentioned, the
search engine is useless, use the master indexes and the configuration
guides/command references directly and you will have better success. Also
as others have mentioned, you don't have a lot of time to be fiddling with
the information on the doc cd....
