DESCRIPTION:  Creates a set of utilities to be used with remote 
installation tools to install the 07/03/99 version System ROM 
and/or change the Language Module option in F10 Setup in the 
Deskpro EN Series SFF models with a 686T5 Family ROM.  

The standard ROMPaq will not run under remote installation tools.
Intel LANDesk Configuration Manager (LCM) is one possible remote 
installation tool for network PCs.   

This ROM includes a ROM-based F10 Setup.  A Language Module option 
allows the user to select the language used in F10 Setup:  Danish, 
Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese,
Spanish, or Swedish.
Note: The user sees the chosen language only in F10 Setup, not in the 
      operating system.

This ROM is recommended for use with Microsoft Windows 98.
