Subject:  [os2genau] ot: w2k dun password not kept

I've updated w2k preload on Compaq Armada with SP2/SP3

now, the DUN password is not kept properly, the **** string is a lot longer that should be, and, it needs to be overtyped every time.

anyone knows of a fix, pls ?

Subject:  [os2genau] ot: Ghost and USB CDRW, does it work ?

has anyone ever used Ghost with USB CD-RW ?

does it work......?

I made a boot disk from NSW2002/Ghost CD with CD/USB support;
booted Ghost shows a USB option, but, throws an error about missing cable

when W2k booted, CDRW works fine

Have you just clicked OK or Connect or whatever the button is called? 
I've noticed that when Windows redisplays password fields, it fills
them with asterisks.  I think the idea is to hide the length of the
existing password from prying eyes.
