Well since you ask! I was able to get this to work using a patched version of mkdosfs, and by moving to FAT32. For in-house purposes we can now install completely over HTTPS. In fact we're scheduled to deploy a really nasty-complex application of ours to a site in India, from our sever in Oregon, using a (heavily) modified version of unattended.
I'll dig up that patch and post it as soon as I get a second. The other posted it to the binutils mailing list in an attempt to get Redhat's attention. So, I'm curious . . . why are you interested in the "bypass" method? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark > Heslep > Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 11:38 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Linux boot rather than DOS? > > > Does anyone have any follow up to this 'bypass' of dosemu > approach that > Seth Delisle and Pablo Manzanera discussed in these threads: > > http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7268309 > > The main problem then was installing the boot sector on different > machines.
