+Step 0: Map network drive to build tools drive
+  - right click on Network Places, choose Map Network Drive
+  - Map Network Drive V: to \\dimbo\panda
+  - select reconnect drive at startup
+  - if this doesnt work, you can install the build tools from CD

+    For a faster install, select custom install and uncheck everything

   - On WinNT, you will be prompted to register environment variables for
     running the compiler from the command line - do it.
-  - I also recommend installing the full MSDN Library documentation.
-  - Make sure you install the latest service pack by running:
-       \\dimbo\panda\msvc-sp5\setupsp5.exe
+  - Installing the MSDN Library documentation if this is a primary dev machine.
+    This is currently available on CD only and not on the network.

+  - Install MSVC Service Pack 5 by running V:\msvc-sp5\setupsp5.exe, or from CD

+Step 2: Install MS Platform SDK to get updated VC libs and headers
+  - Install MS Platform SDK MSDN CD in default location.
+  - Run v:\platform-sdk\setup.exe, or install from July 2000 or newer CD
+    This should prepend the Platform SDK paths to your PATH,INCLUDE, and
+    LIB dirs.  Building libpandadx requires this step (needs DX7 headers/libs)
