I'm still not clear on what your assumptions are re: kickstart.  We use a 
"nothing but net pxe install on a blank machine".  We boot the linux 
kernel and initrd via pxelinux, and pull our ks.cfg off a webserver.

Here's a sample pxelinux.cfg/default stanza:
label ksf3
kernel vmlinuz-fedora-3.ks
append ks=http://10.0.0.2/kickstarting/fedora-3/ks-desktop.cfg 
initrd=ksinit-fedora-3.rd

There's no need to boot off the HD and/or use grub just to kick off the 
install.

[Unattended] AD authentication & Linux installs....

2005-02-24 Thread Jeffrey C Albro

Hi all!  

I'm working on adding AD authentication to unattended.  You would need to 
sucessfully authenticate as a member of a list of users in order to use 
unattended. The code is written in PHP.  I'm looking at adding a system 
call from within dosbin/install.pl.  I'm looking for suggestions on where 
in the code to add the login check.

Also, I'd like the option of installing Linux (fedora 3 based) by way of  
unattended.  It looks like I could add that option in /etc/master.  Just 
copy the install initrd and isolinux directories, add a grub call, and 
reboot.  Does anyone see anything wrong with that plan?

Thanks!


-Jeff

This might soung a bit off topic... I'm trying to install the gui in a
debian testing system. Apparently, the php-pear package already comes
with the Auth and DB modules. I downloaded the Sigma module but i can't
find any info on how to install the module.. Could you lend me a hand?

Also ran into an include problem... after running install.php i got

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: auth
in /home/www/unattended/include/API.php on line 130

any ideas on how can i fix this?

Thanks in advance,

Hugo Monteiro.

Subject: [Unattended] Using csv



Hi all, 

I have unattended up and running, with my unattend.txt in the
site-folder. The only thing I still have to do is enter the computername
manually.

I'd like to use the unattend.csv to lookup the computername based on
the macaddress. 
Can anyone tell me what steps I have to take after filling the .csv
file with macaddresses and corresponding computernames, 'cause I can't seem
to get it to work...

I'd still like to keep the other info in my unattend.txt and only
use the .csv for the computername. 

Thanks in advance. 

Regards, 

Johan Stevens

Re: [Unattended] File copy fails

2005-02-24 Thread Tony Worrall
Hi,
I had this error on an old desktop machine I was using to test 
unattended, before I started using it on potential production machines.  
The atapi/sys error persisted stayed no matter what I tried with 
unattended so, eventually, I gave up trying to install onto that 
machine, tried another one and *bam* it all worked perfectly!

The only thing I can guess at causing the failed copy error would either 
be a slightly iffy hard drive.

If anyone does discover a fix for this issue, I'd still like to hear it, 
after all, I have an old desktop machine sitting there doing nothing :)

Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance Heather.

Tony,
I just started using Unattended last week. I was able to get my first 
workstation up and running with no problems. Then I tried my second 
workstation and bam I got the atapi.sys unable to copy error as well. 
I saw you posted on the mailing list you had that issue. Were you able 
to get it resolved?

Thanks
