 Emne: [Unattended] Test release 4.4-test2


 A test release of Unattended is now available at:

 http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/

 In addition to the usual round of updates, this release
 features fixes for a few problems people have had with the
 Linux-based boot disk. The new boot disk will almost work
 with your existing installation share; just copy over
 Z:\linuxaux\usr\bin\find-boot-device and Z:\install\dosbin\format.exe.

 Please try this test release if:

   ...your primary hard drive is connected in a strange place
 (e.g., IDE
  slave or secondary controller); or

   ...you are using Windows Server 2003 as your file server; or

   ...you have a Davicom network card; or

   ...you just like testing things.

 And let us know how it goes.  Thanks!

 Preliminary NEWS.txt entry is appended.

 ** Changes in version 4.4 (2004-???-???)

 (Linux) Try mount.cifs if smbmount fails, since the latter
 does not support SMB signing, and Windows Server 2003
 requires it by default.

 (Linux) Implement and use new script find-boot-device to
 find the Linux device corresponding to the boot device (BIOS
 disk 80h).

 (Linux) Upgrade to klibc 0.146, nano 1.2.4, pcmcia-cs 3.2.8,
 Samba 3.0.5, DBI 1.43, and DBD::mysql 2.9004.

 (Linux) Ensure dmfe driver loads before tulip, since the
 latter does not work right on some hardware.

 (DOS) Upgrade emm386.exe to latest test release.  Downgrade
 umbpci to 3.56 (latest stable release).

 Upgrade Z:\dosbin\format.exe to FreeDOS format 0.91r.

 Upgrade downloads+scripts for Adobe Reader 6.02, Mozilla
 1.7.1, ActiveState Perl 5.8.4 build 810, PHP 4.3.8, and Sun
 JRE 1.4.2_05. New script (opera.bat) from Niels Richthof.

 Add initial support for Spanish (ESN).  Thanks to David Cruz Langreo.

 Add July hotfixes (MS04-018 through MS04-024) with
 international downloads.  Thanks to the usual suspects (Niels
 Richthof, Wim Vandersmissen, Eugene Kotlyarov).
