If you want windows to take up a certain percentage of the disk, change you config.pl to create a very small parition for windows installation. Say 600-700meg. As far as I'm aware, 2G is still the limit for the dos partition size.
Somehow you need to get the size of the disk, could probably do that with some handy work in perl. I wouldn't know off hand, but could be done. Then set ExtendOEMPartition in unattend to (diskpercent/100*DiskSize)-fdiskpartitionsize > It works fine but it is not an "elegant" solution because: > - when installation starts it asks me for the percentage of disk space > for Windows > - then the disk is partitioned and the system reboots > - when installation restarts it asks me AGAIN for the percentage of disk > space for Windows > - then disk is partitioned but no changing in partition table are > detected, so the installation goes on Above will make this problem go away, as until the disk is partitioned you will not be asked for the size you want windows to take up. > > Unfortuately I'm not a good perl programmer so, any "fast" solution to > specify the percentage only > ONCE during the installation would be very appriciated. Hope this helps a little.
