I am not able to update those as I do not use those systems. Plus, you 
have not a clue how much time take to update the security patch. I need 
a volunter (you?) for that.

I will review this list later this weekend, but Some updates are not 
possible for me to update because I use a script under linux to update 
all the languages and some patches ask for a certification of genuine 
windows system.

If you do not want to detect drivers do not put any under 
<unattended>/install/drivers

Open a bug on the trac system for this. Someone could have a look.

no one is updating windows2000 security patch. Please provide new url 
and I will patch it.

nothing to worry about.

This is a cause of using parted 1.6.22, If I update parted then people 
start getting a NTLDR not found

Sometimes updates got replaced by a new version.

I will have a look later.

well... I am not sure if this can be installed unattended...

I personally feel that ie7, ie8 and media player should be optional. I 
would like include this for all the machines:

¿?¿?¿?¿?¿? is this a core funcionality?

you have it on dotnet.bat

do you really that this is a tedius task?
