I needed to install the SP2 upgrade in order to install the Code Red patch.  
The SP2 upgrade hosed my system all on its own.  I was able to rebuild it 
with the Recover utility on the install disks, tried again, and it's hosed 
again.  I'm going to spend today wiping that box and reinstalling it.  Code 
Red got me without even reaching my box.  Thank you very much you $*&^$* in 
Redmond!

I'm back to Mandrake-only yet again and learning new appreciation of KMail.
