 # These are raw notes and commands to paste into a shell.
 # Mostly Bash shell commands for Windows, some tcsh commands for Boss or Ops.
 # Some (most?) of it could be scriptified with some work. 
+# 
+# A major prerequisite is a Windows XP image that doesn't require activation on each
+# installation.  We use the MSDN August, 2001 image, updated by Service Packs and
+# Windows Update.  "Bulk license" versions should work as well.

+# Notice that this file has spaces instead of tabs at the beginning of lines.  A tab
