Greetings All,

First off, thanxs to all who responded to my earlier posts, you all
were a great help, even the guy with the artwork!

Anyway, I have FL with the "FL.exe" patch installed, just finished it
again and found the Lancers Reactor site which is pretty neat site. 
I d/led the "Equalizer MK2" MOD to try and have some fun with the
game.  I added the ini files from mk2 to the proper places in the FL
directories (taking out the old ones) and started the game.  I know
part of the mod worked because part of it skipped the splash scenes
like it was supposed to to load faster, but during a new game in the
Freeport 7 destruct scene, it would crash just after FP7 was hit and
go to my desktop, the sound would go for a few seconds and then give
me a error message and quit.

So, I went back to LR site and read the ending description which said
that this mod was used with Freelancer SDK v1.3 full and Freelacer
1.00 (the game itself).  So, I got 1.3 and installed it, that took
care of the crashes and the game went on as usual....completly.  The
EQ2 mod was suppose to start Trent off with a different ship and such
but he still started with the usual stuff.

All righty then....my question (and I must apologize, this is my first
time with mods, in this case I didn't want to do much more than
installing this mod and playing in game with what it supplied, not
making a mod myself or altering one, so sorry for the long post),
would be....Should I uninstall/reinstall FL, leave it at 1.00, then
install the SDK and then put in the EQ2?  And if so did I do the EQ2
right by just replacing the ini files in the game folders with the new
ones? That's how it looked to me as there was no "auto install" like
with the SDK.

Thank you again for your help and advise!
And thank you Lancer Reactors for your great programs!
