Some of the SourceForge download mirror sites appear to be broken.  I
have submitted a SF support request.

Meanwhile, if you have trouble downloading, or if
unattended-4.0b-linuxboot.zip is 6.1M instead of 18M, try a different
download mirror.

 This will be difficult to debug

Indeed.  There are definitely some oddities with running dosemu under
the 2.6.4 kernel.  For example, it doesn't work right if the dosemu
binary is on a remote (smbfs) drive; we have to copy the binary
locally.

Probably something to do with putting the CPU in virtual x86 mode.

I am not sure what to do, other than hope the Linux/dosemu folks
eventually notice the problem and fix it.  It's not like we have a
simple test case...

 The following   items are not supported in LinuxBoot v4.0a :
 
 a)The Realtek Cardbus PC Card (Model EP-4103DL) is not detected by

This may be fixed in 4.0b.  Apparently, the Linux kernel does not
fully activate the CardBus subsystem before running init...  I had to
add a delay to get a 3c575 CardBus card working on an older Inspiron
7500.

The rtl8139 uses the 8139too driver, which should definitely work.
After the crash, try doing modprobe 8139too and then re-running
/etc/master by hand.  If that works, then 4.0b should work, too;
please let us know.

 b)Serial ATA hard drives are not support.

I am going to need more details from the output you see before the
failure.  In particular, the lines showing the lspci and lspci -n
output would be helpful.

(Or just run the commands by hand and send me the results.)

Does anyone know if these hardware are supported in v4.0b?

Unattended version 4.0b is now available for download from
http://unattended.sourceforge.net.  This is primarily a bug-fix
release.

The most interesting addition is Shad's install/site/sample-config.pl.
It is so interesting that I think I will start a different thread to
discuss it.

Thanks to the work of several contributors, the prepare script now
downloads the updates for several languages (English, Dutch, Russian,
German, and French).

This release also includes the current versions of Jeff Black's
step-by-step.html and cygwin.html guides.  These are under active
development, so we do not link to them just yet...  We will be
updating them on the Web site and adding links there between now and
the next release.

NEWS.txt entry is appended.  As always, feedback is welcome.

Enjoy!

 - Pat


** Changes in version 4.0b (2004-Mar-20)

Add Shad's sample configuration as install/site/sample-config.pl.
This causes Unattended to use a pair of spreadsheets (hardware.csv and
software.csv) to automatically determine the host name, Windows
product key, and other things.  We may make this behavior the default
in future releases; join the unattended-info mailing list if you would
like to express an opinion.

Ship ZIP archives instead of .tar.gz archives, because WinZip is too
clever by half and mangles our line endings.

Add Dutch updates and download URLs.  Thanks to Niels de Groot.

Add Russian updates and download URLs.  Thanks to Eugene Kotlyarov.

Add German updates and download URLs.  Thanks to Gerhard Heift and Jan
Brauer.

Add French updates and download URLs.  Thanks to Sylvain Faivre.

Replace all Office XP updates with Office XP Service Pack 3.

Add ofc2003.bat script for installing Office 2003.  Thanks to imdos.

(DOS) Update to SYSLINUX 2.09-pre13.  This should fix the corrupted
isolinux.bin file in the last couple of releases.

(Linux) Add support for I2O adapters (e.g., Adaptec 2110S).

(Linux) Upgrade to dosemu 1.2.1 and Linux 2.6.4.  Might improve
support for some hardware.

(Linux) Apply patch to Parted so it can compile against recent
toolchain/kernel.  See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2003/debian-glibc-200311/msg00400.html.
Thanks to Mark Pavlichuk.

(DOS) Update Broadcom 57xx (b57.dos) and VIA Rhine (fetnd.dos) drivers
to latest versions from Broadcom's and VIA's sites, respectively.

 I just tried the latest version with the linuxbootdisk on a Dell Optiplex
 GX260. It ran perfectly.
 
 Using linux to install Windows XP unattended.. too cool for words ;)

Glad to hear it :)

Re: [Unattended] Unattended 4.0b released

2004-03-21 Thread Patrick J. LoPresti
OK, so the linuxboot .zip archive was broken and missing the
install/linuxaux directory...  Whoops.

It is fixed now.

Also, since my karma is such that things never fail one at a time, my
users.sourceforge.net Email has been dead for the past 14 hours or so.
I was forwarding it via my old university account, but the CS/AI Lab
is moving to a new building this weekend.  I have now changed the
forward, but if you sent me anything earlier today, I may not receive
it until later this week or possibly never.
