 Using the undis3c driver to pxe boot blades with broadcom Gigabit
 NICS to DOS The install begins but the file copy is dreadfully slow
 and stalls - randomly in the region of 20%
 
 any ideas/help appreciated

Please try the Linux-based boot disk.  We have a few reports of DOS
having trouble with gigabit Ethernet, and there is really very little
we can do about it.

Re: [Unattended] Configuring share options

 You can also use dhcp optioin 233 to distibute the share! 

Yes, exactly.  If you are using ISC DHCP on Unix, you can add a line
like this to /etc/dhcpd.conf:

 option option-233 z_user=myuser z_pass=sekrit z_path=//myserver/myshare;

If you are using a Windows DHCP server, see step 8 of
http://unattended.sourceforge.net/pxe-win2k.html.  (The other steps
are for doing PXE boot.  This step is for setting the boot disk
options, which will work with the CD-ROM as well.)

All of this is only supported by the Linux-based boot disk.  But it is
easier than editing the boot disk itself, and will automatically work
with future releases.

[Unattended] Pre-Install Drivers unattended Unsigned drivers

2004-12-22 Thread Remi Woler
2 questions this time.
1. I've got the pre install driver thing working (thanks Brad Erdman), 
but still got a little question about it. Yet, a nice menu asks me which 
driver I want to load, and what other default drivers I want to load. Is 
there a way to make this as unattended as the other questions?

2. The Raid driver is not signed by Microsoft. Therefor, the windows 
installation asks 3 times if I am really really really sure I want to 
install this driver. Is there any way to surpress this message?

Thanks in advance. Remi.

try adding this section into your site unattend.txt

[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

Yes.  See Computing OemPnPDriversPath automatically in

As others have mentioned, you can set [Unattended]/DriverSigningPolicy
to Ignore (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293765 and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314479).

We have added this to Z:\lib\unattend.txt for the next release.

[Unattended] Stopping some user input requirements during install

2004-12-22 Thread 0-Andrew Hancock
Hi,
I haven't been using this system for long and don't know pearl. I want to be 
able to store information such as the Organization name so that I don't have 
to keep typing it. I presume that I need to modify the install.pl file but 
haven't been successful at it! How do I do this?
 
Thanks

Re: [Unattended] Stopping some user input requirements during install

2004-12-22 Thread Remi Woler
Simple information, which you usually enter during installation, needs 
only to be entered in the unattend.txt file. A simple text file, with 
all the answers on the questions asked during installation. Can't figure 
out how it works? Do a clean install using Unattended, and review the 
c:\NETINST\unattend.txt. I'm not 100% sure about the directory name, but 
if you look at your c: drive, you know exactly which one you need.
