Okay, these updates aren't hotfixes I realize now... I shouldn't have called
them that accidentally. They're regular updates, with names like
"win2000-kbnnnnnn-en-enu.exe." These are not the hotfixes you're talking
about. There are no .cat files in these updates. The only .cat file is the
empty.cat file which the article specifically states to disregard.
Here's a link to the article I'm getting my instructions from:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828930
Does this shed any additional light on the subject?
