Unattended 4.1 "release candidate 1" is now available for testing. You may download it from <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/>.
If you have time to try it out over the next day or two, we would appreciate it. Shad is doing regression testing now; when he finishes in the next few days, we will make a real release. NEWS.txt entry is appended. - Pat ** Changes in version 4.1 (2004-Apr-??) (Linux) Upgrade Linux kernel to 2.6.5. (Linux) Add kbd package, and use it to start shells on virtual terminals 2 and 3 (debugging aid). Recognize "kbd=..." kernel parameter to select keyboard map. Add support for serial console. Fix bug preventing ^C from working. (Linux) Fix dosemu font to let winnt.exe ASCII art look nice. Thanks to Max Lovius. (Linux) Obtain settings (z_user, z_pass, z_path) from DHCP option 233 in addition to kernel command line. (DOS) Add support for Realtek RTL8169/RTL8110S gigabit adapters. (DOS) Create WinImage-compatible (PKZIP format) compressed floppy images. Patch memdisk so it can handle such images. (DOS/Linux) Permit "DOMAIN\username" syntax in username for mapping install share. (DOS) Now that the FreeDOS folks added support for VCPI in emm386.exe, use it instead of umbpci.sys for UMB provider, Rewrite auconfig.pl to support "--policy" switch and all the new settings it allows. Contributed by Nils Ostbjerg. Add internationalized support to bootini.pl, including French, Dutch, German, and Italian. Thanks to Sylvain Faivre, Niels de Groot, Gerhard Heift, and Rosario Esposito, respectively. (Thanks to Jan Brauer and Harro Bruins for other i18n contributions.) Modify mapznrun.bat to hunt through drives for \dosbin\install.pl before trying to map Z: drive. Useful for installing from fixed devices (like CD or DVD). Thanks to Niels de Groot. Modify todo.pl to hook HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\...\Run key instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\...\Run key, in case user wants to switch logon ID to a domain account mid-install. Recognize Windows XP SP2. In install.pl, have z_user default to "DOMAIN\user", because some people use domain accounts to map their install shares. Add URLs for Italian downloads. Thanks to Rosario Esposito. Use %SystemDrive% instead of C: everywhere. Fix various minor bugs. Add April updates from Microsoft (MS04-011, MS04-012, MS04-013, and MS04-014).
