Re: Installation
Yep, do it all at the same day in the order Balfree has mentioned. It won't hurt, I promise. The only thing that will happen is you will be playing the game the same day you started installing!

Re: Installation
No problem.

Depending on your connection speed, the updates may take a long time, but that is uncertain, you should only worry if your connection is 56kbps, which should take you anything like 5 hours atleast to update the whole thing... someone throw me a bone here? Im not speaking by experience.

Re: Installation
Installing from the Vana'diel Collection 2007 a couple months ago left me with a 5-hour update over cable. Hopefully that time would go down with the 2008 Collection.

Re: Installation
5 or more hours, the way to get the smallest update is install all the expansions before trying to update. If you have nothing else going on over your connection (you shouldn't) you might get disconnected many times making it hard to run unattended. The best way around this is to get something that will request a small webpage every 5-10 min. Firefox with 'reload every' just reloading google.com will do this. The problem being that a number of dialup ISP's only consider some types of traffic as an active line.
