Getting updates: install CoP?

[Prettz]

I have the very first NA release version of FFXI and I will be installing it soon on this PC. This means I will have to update FFXI since it's release in North America. But I also have the CoP expansion disc.

My questions are, when I install FFXI should I update FFXI before installing CoP? Will it screw anything up if I install CoP before updating? And will installing them one after another help me avoid the several hours of updating FFXI?

shouldn't matter

And will installing them one after another help me avoid the several hours of updating FFXI?

nope. either way, you're gonna be sitting there for the hours of update.
