This is not easy. The install.pl script expects to hook into the master OS installation, and it has preconceived notions about formatting the disk and such. What I usually do is this. 1) Log into factory-shipped machine as local administrator. 2) Open a cmd prompt. 3) "net use z: \\ntinstall\install /pers:yes" 4) "mkdir C:\netinst" 5) "mkdir C:\netinst\logs" 6) "Z:\scripts\perl.bat" 7) "Z:\bin\todo.pl officexp.bat tightvnc.bat ..." (whatever) 8) "Z:\bin\todo.pl --go" What we really need is real package management... - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
