[Unattended] windows XP PXE installation
Hi!
In my previouse email I'm complain about complexity of unattended. Now I'm
"contaminated". I'm successfully managed "install" unattended on Debian
Etch and managed to install plain windows XP. Now I want advance but again
stucked.
Problems:
1. Where I can put instructions about NTP, unneded question at the start
of the installation process, after partitioning and formatting?
2. After "raw" installation of xp, when (I think) started the post
installation, my hardware needs reboot - some new hardware installation -
but the todo.pl is running! How I can say to make a reboot automatically,
in this case?
3. For many years we have install CD with SP2, but unattended 4.7 stopped
on SP1. "todo.pl" identify the windows version it said that is it unknown
(line 224). In addition my hungarian version XP professional SP2 gives
back string "Szervizcsomag 2" not "Service Pack ...". I "patched" the
todo.pl:
elsif ($csd_version =~ /^Szervizcsomag (\d+)/) {
$sp = "sp$2";
}
but perl complain about somthing "unknown" (no signs of this error in log!).
4. As process continued, installed "ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 822" (completed
successfully - it is the last log) The script complain about
"winxpsp-updates.bat". How can I build it or what it should be really,
because my hack that this name created fromexpression %WINME%-updates.bat?
I really need some updates because of the SP3, but "update of install CD
was not success (I tried this but installation stucked on very early state
complaining about some drivers for NIC).
5. Is it possible to restart post installation, upgrade ... when the base
XP installation is completed (it wants introduce itself :)
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Unattended] windows XP PXE installation
So you want to net-install XP but only go through the normal (same as from cd) setup and stop after that and do all else by hand?

Long time I have managed to avoid these kind of challanges.

I have managed to install Debian using desktop with Debian Etch on it and good Debian howto - it is about two pages :) You need a working DHCP server, a tftp and a small package of file for PXE booting/installing - quick and dirty. Unfortunatelly many of programs I need to use are working on DOS and windows. I need to manage install the same way windows XP. I do not need all of the facilities of "unattended", it is far beyond my needs. Is it possible to netinstall winXP more simple? I do not want to install basicly all drivers, service packs - I simply need a plain XP which can boot, after install process, from local hard drive, connect to network and use USB storage. All remain I can do by hand.
