Thanks for the vote of confidence but since that was a fairly
labor intensive way of doing it and came at a time when 'setup.exe'
wasn't as equipped as it is today to handle this more directly, I
would no longer advocate going that route.  Using 'setup.exe' at
the command line and specifying the packages you want is a better
way to go.

Thanks.  Including the pointer to the original email is definitely
the preferred alternative here.
