  1. From the About page:

    About the Letters

    I can't remember why I started writing back....

    Was I mad as hell and not taking it anymore?

    Did my insatiable mean streak miss a feeding?

    Did I see an opportunity to generate a few cheap laughs?

    These all seem like viable reasons... but are writing ridiculous letters to mostly dead addresses and trying to lure the authors behind the functional ones into an increasingly absurd dialog justifiable?

    I don't know. While I'm sorting out the ethics involved, you can read these.

    P.S. If there's one entertaining thing to come out of this site, it's the fact that when spammers have their tools scraping as many email addresses as they can find from the web they'll hit this site and have tons of email that'll just bounce right back at them.

  2. When you update the list of hotfixes could you add the date you added each file

    as in

    Q323183_WXP_SP2_X86_ENU.EXE  1,137,512 Bytes 4/28/04

    So that we know when the new update was added.

    AaronXP maintains a similar page (actually its a posting on the forum). He also lets you know when a patch supercedes another. You can AaronXP's post here.

  3. You should be able to use your SUS updates. You will need to put them into the correct folders however. Since SUS only downloads critical updates, you'll need to download any of the recommended updates (Movie Maker 2, Media Player 9, etc...) that you want to update.

  4. To add additional network drivers to a PE disc, you'll need to copy the driver files into the correct directories.

    CAT files are not needed. You can delete them.

    INF files go into the %WINDIR%\inf directory.

    SYS files go into the %WINDIR%\system32\drivers directory.

    All other files go into the %WINDIR%\system32 directory.

  5. @UTln -- i used to get that same problem. Had a Netgear FA311 Nic in the machine at the time. Its the drivers... they suck.

    Swapped that card out for a cheapo Zonet card, spoofed the mac address of the netgear card so i can get online, and presto the cheap and nasty card doesent lock the machine up when traffic gets hectic.

    Only good thing with the netgear card is it can be booted over the network, but then as im not likley to be doing remote installs at home i dont miss it.

    Try another nic or some other drivers? might be similar issue.

    It's the speed of the Internet2 conenction that we have. With a well seeded torrent I can get almost 1G/s up and down.
