Guys

This url matches what you get on the DOC CD during the lab is :

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/home/home.htm

Anything else that you are used to referrring to (like public/warp folders)
*will not* be available.

Also, the DOC under this url is 12.2, while the lab tests you on 12.1
features (there would be a few differences).

So make a choice..

Personally, I prefer the DOC CD only (but that may well be a personal
choice)
