| 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.

| If you call "setup" instead of "winnt32" this unattend.txt is parsed

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