Hi, guys...thanks for all the input.
Two outcomes...
1) We've done an analysis of the process at the technical level and
there is no reason that we have to shut the computer at the beginning.
Even though step 2 is to shut down the Internet modem, as long as the
user doesn't leave the page, the page will continue to display in the
browser. We just have to reboot at the end to update some dynamic IP
addresses.
2) We're launching a task force to look into delivery of installation
instructions via text message. Thanks Reshma.
Thanks, guys
> Additionally, you could provide a means for them to get the instructions in the form of a text message on their mobile phone. Everyone may not have a printer, but nearly everyone has a mobile device.
> Example:Installing xyzPrerequisite
> Before installing xyz, you must shut down the computer that you intend to connect this device to. We therefore recommend that you copy or print these instructions before you begin. Alternatively, you can send a text message to receive these instructions on your mobile/handheld device. Type 'Install xyz'
