Sure, we can put in in a loop. Actually, that would allow us to completely eliminate the initial 5-second pause for systems which do not need it. I really wish I knew exactly what we were waiting for, exactly. I hate random delays. > 2. The linux portion of the windows install seems very slow, is > there a reason for that? Installing which OS? And how slow, exactly (do you have numbers)? For Win2k, it is extremely fast for me. For XP, there is a long delay at the beginning, but after that it is not too bad... Less than 10 minutes total. > 3. Can we get the samba partition to mount rw, instead of ro. As I > update the bootfile to make the machine boot from HDD again after > partitioning.

I think smbmount will fall back to RO if the R/W mount fails. The only problem is that it might create some suspicious "permission denied" log messages on the server. I will just do it and see if we get any complaints. If we do, I will switch the default back to RO and add a z_... option. Sound good? > 4. Using parted has a few issues with installation.

Are you using the latest version of Z:\dosbin\install.pl? Are you setting [_meta]/fdisk_cmds in Z:\site\unattend.txt or config.pl? - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
