Well.... I was messing with it this morning and decided to pick the option
to make Several CABs.  I picked 720k as the largest size.  I then end up
with a SETUP.LST, SETUP.EXE and 14 different CAB files for the project.  The
setup process was MUCH faster on the destination machine.

I hope this helps someone else
Mike
