Most images should work fine.  If there are any old distributions which
have not been updated yet (with binaries dated before December 2001) 
they have not been tested - so may have problems.  If you find any on
Simtel and mirrors (which are picked by the zip picker) which don't work
properly on XP, you should let us know.

We have refreshed many distributions and they have been put on Simtel and
mirrors.  While it's not recommended to mix the Simtel (2.03) release and
unofficial (CVS/2.04) binaries, if you are missing a key distribution
from Simtel you could try the one from the unofficial site to see if it 
fixes a problem under XP.
