| Most important file (four you) included in the i386 dir might be the
| UNATTEND.TXT which contains the "volume license key" that works for the
| IBM-specific XP corporate edition.

The I386 directory on my T42p doesn't include setup.exe or
winnt32.exe, alas.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
