I'm using Unattended
4.2c with the Linux boot disk. I'm interested in trying to fiddle things so that
I can use a single $oem$ directory regardless of whether I'm loading Win2k
Pro, or Win2K Server or Win XP. I was hoping I'd be able
to do something with symbolic links.
As a quick test,
exiting from install.pl after boot and running "ln -s target source" comes
back with an error "Operation not permitted", which could be because
my install
share is on a Windows 2000 server.
(I suppose I
could write a batch file, but that just seems a bit unsexy tacked on the end
of a network booting, all-singing, all-dancing,
look-nothing-up-my-sleeves unattended process)
Could anyone
suggest a mechanism for this?

P.S.
On a related
point, when I'm working with a Linux shell session (/z
mounted) while also using a Windows PC with a drive mapped to the install
share, changes made to the file system from the Windows PC don't show
up at the linux console in response to standard shell commands.
E.g. From the
mapped Z:\ drive, change a file name from 'foo' to 'bar'. Go over the linux
console, and run 'ls /z' - the listing will still say "foo". But you can
"cat bar" to get the contents. Not exactly a major problem, but it
seems odd. Does anyone know why this happens?
