I think they get behind. Netbooting is not just a way to bring up broken
portmasters. Some sites do it routinely. So I would think that the netboot
image should be as current as the currently released com os.

As mentioned earlier, I think they get behind in updating all the areas on
their web site so it all jives. I dont think, for example that the latest
windows kit has 3.7 in the data directory. Ill check it out again.
