i was under the impression that most BIOS'es required an input via kb to
boot from network.
not sure about IBM though...
see if you can make them boot from hd first, but get to boot from network
when doing install only(ie once)

Steven,
I am happily using PXELINUX, there is an option to drop straight out of the
menu if either caps lock or shift lock are not engaged, coupled with that I
have a local disk boot set as the default.
This does mean that you have to type a 'magic word' to launch the install,
but that has the

I do it like this:
First do a attended install. Get the proper registry key.
Then:

Apply registry key.

Hi!
Case sensitivity is more a property of the server than the client.
I suspect if you set unix extensions = off in your smb.conf file
it will fix the problem. This is my guess, anyway; it would be
nice to know for certain.
