Or, "Shad Gone Wild!"

The big new feature is the z:\install\prepare script.  It will
automatically look over your install share and download everything it
possibly can to populate it.  It still needs international support
(some design issues here) and documentation, but it is already pretty
cool.

We fixed a bunch of bugs, including the one where I completely broke
the CD-ROM image.

This is also a much better tested release than usual; we (well, mostly
Shad) tried almost all of the 18 combinations of (Win2k, WinXP, WS2k3)
x (IIS, no IIS) x (Office 2000, Office XP, no Office).  We are fairly
confident that this is the most robust release yet.

Let us know what you think...

** Changes in version 3.4 (2003-Nov-14)

New script install/prepare.  This is a Unix shell script which
automatically downloads everything free thing it can for the install
share.  That includes critical updates, recommended updates, and all
the free software.  Downloads something like a gigabyte of data all
told...  Thanks, Shad.

Rearrange install share slightly (sorry).

Fix bug where ISO image was missing memdisk and was therefore useless.
Oops.

Modify *-notips.pl to obtain profile directory from registry instead
of hard-coding "C:\Documents and Settings".  Needed for non-English
Windowses.

Increase choices per page in install.pl from 8 to 15.

Recognize some more non-English Windows media.

Make things work if IIS is not being installed.

Make things work for Win2k RTM, although you will have to download
Windows Installer 2.0 (InstMsiW.exe) from Microsoft first.

Use command-line defrag.exe if it exists.

Rearrange *-updates.bat to do critical fixes first.

Add latest hotfixes (through MS03-051) for Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003, Office 2000, and Office XP.
