Bunch of small fixes, one major fix (Linux boot disk on Compaq
hardware), a few minor improvements, and filling in the international
download URLs (courtesy Niels Richthof).

With XP SP2 and Linux 2.6.8 imminent, we will probably have another
release within a month or so.  But I think we have plenty to make this
one worthwhile.

Get it from the download page:

As always, your feedback is welcome.

** Changes in version 4.4 (2004-Aug-06)

(Linux) Fix serious bug in find-modules-pci script, which prevented us
from loading the correct mass storage driver on certain systems
(especially Compaqs).

(Linux) Try mount.cifs if smbmount fails, since the latter does not
support SMB signing, and Windows Server 2003 requires it by default.

(Linux) Implement and use new script "find-boot-device" to find the
Linux device corresponding to the boot device (BIOS disk 80h).

(Linux) Ensure dmfe driver loads before tulip, since the latter does
not work right on some hardware.

(Linux) Upgrade to BusyBox 1.00-rc2, klibc 0.152, nano 1.2.4,
pcmcia-cs 3.2.8, Samba 3.0.5, DBI 1.43, and DBD::mysql 2.9004.

(DOS) Upgrade emm386.exe to latest test release.  Downgrade umbpci to
3.56 (latest stable release).

Upgrade Z:\dosbin\format.exe to FreeDOS format 0.91r.

Upgrade downloads+scripts for Adobe Reader 6.02, Mozilla 1.7.2,
ActiveState Perl 5.8.4 build 810, PHP 4.3.8, and Sun JRE 1.4.2_05.
New script (opera.bat) from Niels Richthof.

Add initial support for Spanish (ESN).  Thanks to David Cruz Langreo.

Fill in download URLs for all languages.  Thanks, Niels!

Numerous minor bug fixes.

Add July hotfixes (MS04-018 through MS04-025).  International download
URLs thanks to the usual suspects (Niels Richthof, Wim Vandersmissen,
Eugene Kotlyarov).  Upgrade to DirectX 9.0c.
