Hello,

the linuxboot ISO of 4.4-test5 seems to use CIFS only (smbmount is commented out), with this setup I ran into the following problem:

the winnt.exe setup failed to copy the stuff located in the $OEM$ directory.

+ I dropped into a bash shell and could copy all the files successfully from /z to /tmp

+ I patched the doit.bat to give a prompt prior running winnt.exe in DOSemu; there I could CHDIR into the directories, could DIR them and any directory below, but I could _not_ copy them; neither with the FreeCOM's COPY command nor with the external XCOPY.EXE.
The error message is "Unable to open file" -- the source file. The same applies to the command TYPE.


The problem went away when I made all the directories lowercase; the filenames itself were lowercase already, but the directories weren't.

E.g.: I had the path:

$oem$/$1/Pnp/yukon
         ^!!!

The fileserver is running Samba 3.0.2a
I had no problems using the very same $OEM$ directory in conjunction with the boot CDs v4.3. (which use smbmount, I assume)


Bye,
