Re: Package download

[Steven Piercy]

Yeah, the prepare script is nice and does the job with wget (really, any 
webpuller would do) - but why bash it? (not to bash bash -  8-) ) Really 
though, since the rest of unattended is running perl, is there a way to 
let todo.pl pickup and run prepare with a "check for update, then get 
it" sort of flag. So when I run unattended for the first time, it would 
automatically run prepare and dl anything needed. (ideally, the process 
would check each time to keep our patches up-to-date.)

I should do some checking around, theres got to be a nice bash to perl 
translator out there (cause im too lazy to do it meself)

um... incase yall have thought of, or done this already - just consider 
me slow! thx

Hi Sean,
The file prepare in the <unattended>\install directory is a bash-script to download 
everything you need.
You'll need a unix or linux workstation (or a cygwin installation on windows) to run 
it.
If you don't have experience with /unix/linux/cygwin and are having problems, feel 
free to ask more help.

Hi...
After finally getting everything to work, I started looking at the
script for automated software install.
THIS ROCKS!
One question I have is, has anyone thought about maybe trying to have a
script, that will go out and download all the updates and free software
packages you want, and place them in the specific dirs?
Just seems like something everyone might want to do at some point, since
more updates and other software eventually will pop up.
If this is something that's already thought of, then sorry... just
thinking here...
Thanks
Sean
