You are the only one to mention this very important point.

Anytime I install something new I first install my last known good
image of my system. After using the AT&T CD to do the installation I
had so much junk everywhere I couldn't believe it. AT&T, like
Micro$oft, wanted my home page, bookmarks and many other settings
changed to "their way." It would have taken hours to re-set
everything.

Once I found out that their CD was unnecessary (and it didn't even get
the settings correct on my router -- that took a call to the help
desk.) I went back and installed my last known good image of my
system.

G.S.

As long as you adhere to two fundamental rules:

1. DO NOT make any use of any CD that comes with the package. It is not
needed and will honk up your system beyond recognition.
2. Have a 12-year old male on call.
