The new net release system allows us to add/replace packages as
needed, so effectively there is no timeframe.

Everything, of course ;-)
The basics are:
* needs to let user select what is to be installed and where (the new
release is multi-package).
* needs to run mount.exe to set up initial mounts per user selections
(text vs binary, root, etc).
* needs to hook into the add/remove program system.
