Hi all, we prefer to have the classic Look-and-Feel (start menu, desktop top, windows control panel) of Win 2000 on our XP boxes.

[Unattended] Auto eject linux based boot CD?
Hi, when booting from the linux based CD, you get some message like ... if running from CD you can eject it now ... which is gone some seconds later. Wouldn't it better to stop at this point and print a message please remove cd and press a key to continue? In case boot sequence of PC is configured CD-ROM, first HDD it leads to unwanted effects when installing Win XP: after copying the setup files to hdd the PC should reboot from hard disk and continue with the setup process. It won't do this when CD is left in drive. Any way to customize this on my own? Regards Gerhard --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

Re: [Unattended] Automatically activate classic Win-2000-Look-and-Feel on Win-XP-Box?
Yes there is. Please look at unattended.sourceforge.net. The better way is to create a account make all settings you want and copy the files under ntuser.dat, ntuser.dat.LOG and ntuser.ini during the install in the Default user profile, so all new users get this settings.

[Unattended] shortcut.pl
With profuse apologies to anyone who knows and loves perl, I have modified the shortcut.pl script to allow you to choose which icon the shortcut should have. I am happy this worked, because it's my first time working with perl (I'm more windows oriented - I told you I'm sorry). I can mail it to the list if appropriate. Sadly, I have no experience with CVS or even Diffs (I know, I know... I can only apologize so many times). Please let me know how you would like it. Thanks.

It seemed to do something but when Netbind was invoked, VMWare crashed with a nonrecoverable error. The virtual machine crashed, or the emulator itself crashed? If the latter, that is a bug in VMware and you should report it to them.

Gerhard Hofmann [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi all, how can I customize the Linux-based boot disk in order to have German keyboard layout? I was going to suggest configuring your DHCP server to send the kbd=... switch in DHCP option 233, but it turns out the boot disk configures the keyboard before grabbing a DHCP lease. This is fixed in next release, but for now you have the options: 1) Edit the isolinux.cfg file as Mario described and burn a new CD; or 2) Hold down the Shift key while the CD is booting to get a boot: prompt. Then type unattended kbd=de-latin1. Perhaps we ought to add a menu to the Linux boot CD. - Pat --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

[Unattended] Microsoft SQL2000 Tools
I am trying to add the SQL2000 Tools (Query Analyzer, Enterprise Manager, etc.) to the unattended installation and I'm having difficulty. The CD has a predefined ISS file (what I assume is a transform) and instructions on how to use it. If I run it manually on the machine after Windows is installed it works fine, but if I run it as part of the unattended install it appears to run, but doesn't install anything or report any problems. Can anyone offer some advice on getting this installed correctly? I am using 4.4b and installing to WinXP SP2 Volume License edition using the Linux boot disk. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!

[Unattended] Laptop locking up during install
I am using the linux boot cd and trying to setup XP. The answer file is created ok and the script runs, copies files for the XP install but then the laptop locks up. When I power off and back on the install picks up where it left off and finishes normally. Any clue as how to trouble shoot the system locking up like that? Trying to figure out why. Thanks for any ideas. Steve
