Robert,
This is what I would do:
W2K
SP2 + critical updates or SP3
Metaframe
Metaframe FR2
Install applications
Then system tweacks

Leave the drive re-mapping to the Metaframe installation program, don't 
let him mess with the registry. Use a policy template to perform server 
tweaking. The thinnet has a great collection of templates that you can 
use to apply changes to the server registy. Try to avoid manual registry 
editing. Between the 2 of us don't let you buddy touch the citrix 
server. Just kidding
Good luck, and have fun with Citrix
