The daemontools that I downloaded via the link on Zack's VistaBase web site
did *not* work for me on an NT 4 system: only the readme.txt file was
visible when the image was mounted. My solution was to move the dvd image
to my Fedora Core 5 machine, do a "mount -t udf -o loop", extract the files
to a samba share and then do the install from an expendible XP machine over
the network. Worked just fine.
