FYI, On my RH7.3 system, I had a problem running make for the DOS boot disks.
% make : command not foundmz.../bin/sh: make: *** [images/b44.imz] Error 127 The offending line is 36: driver_uc=`echo $$driver | tr [[:lower:]] [[:upper:]]` \ I added a Space after the backtick (and before the two tabs), and now it builds fine. Odd... It worked okay in unattended 3.5. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Patrick J. LoPresti [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2004 7:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Unattended 4.0rc1 I have uploaded "Unattended 4.0 Release Candidate 1" to: http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/unattended-4.0rc1.tar.gz http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/unattended-4.0rc1-dosboot.tar. gz http://unattended.sourceforge.net/testing/unattended-4.0rc1-linuxboot.ta r.gz Download unattended-4.0rc1.tar.gz (the main distribution), plus one of either -dosboot (formerly known as -images) or -linuxboot. Or just download all three. The main distribution contains the basic structure, as always. The -dosboot archive, as usual, will populate the "bootdisk" directory. I would like to rename that directory to "dosboot", but renaming directories under CVS is very painful. The -linuxboot archive will populate the "linuxboot" directory with a .iso image and a tftpboot/ directory, as well as adding a "linuxaux" directory under the "install" directory. Obviously, you need to refresh your install share from the install directory. I have not even tried the updated install.pl under DOS... I figure, what's the worst that could happen? Many thanks to everyone who provided early testing and feedback. Special thanks to Shad for having the patience to continuously test things even though they were totally broken 90% of the time. This is it, folks! Please try it out and let us know how it goes. Preliminary NEWS.txt entry is appended. - Pat ** Changes in version 4.0 (2004-???-??) Major changes to the boot disk in this release. You will need to refresh pretty much everything. On the DOS side, we have switched to using FreeDOS for the boot disk. We also have a new experimental Linux boot disk based on Linux. We expect to support both indefinitely. Many changes to install.pl to support running under Linux. Use a 4000M FAT32 partition instead of a 2000M FAT16 partition for initial installation partition. Use FreeDOS himem64.exe instead of himem.sys as XMS provider. Loads of fun. Update to FreeDOS FORMAT 0.91m. Use its new "/a" switch, modelled after the same switch in Microsoft's OFORMAT tool (see <http://google.com/search?q=oformat+site%3Amicrosoft.com>). This aligns the FAT clusters to a 4k boundary, so after NTFS conversion the cluster size will be 4k instead of 512 bytes. Changes to free up more conventional memory. Bundle umbpci.sys and load it in config.sys. Load ifshlp.sys into high memory. Invoke umb.com in autoexec.bat. Rearrange bootdisk/tftpboot to make more sense. (DOS) Add support for 3com 3c94x/3c2000 family of gigabit adapters. Avoid hard links in distribution because DOS extractors cannot handle them (creating zero-length files). Add "--remote" switch to shutdown.pl. Use %SystemDrive% instead of C: in todo.pl. Thanks to Andrew Clark. Add usual round of Windows updates. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
