Oki, I finally found some time to go thru, edit/manipulate and do a bit
testing of info/script Mario Gzuk posted here early this year.
First: A big thankyou to Mario for sharing this knowledge!
Basically I trimmed down Marios script.
This script depend on the patches posted in parent mail
(subject: pre- alt_- post- dosemu_cmd patches)
The script itself does not care where its placed, but needs read access to
/etc/functions.sh and the binary files (adjust $BINARYDIR).
This is not the final script, but it is close and should be functional.
I will adjust the forementioned patches to reflect what we end up with names
and so on.
I used busybox 1.8.1, but 1.6.1 should work fine. Some adjustments in busybox
config is needed. I can post the busybox-config-1.6.1 as soon as I get the
time to recompile.
Some questions (for making the final patch) :
A better name for "alt_dosemu"?
Where shall this script be placed in linuxboot?
Is /etc a proper place to put a bash 'function library'?
Is functions.sh a OK name for this 'function library'?
(both the master script and "alt_dosemu" script uses the "parse_ini_file"
function to read unattend.txt)
I will move the "write_ini_entry" function into this library file too.
Where do I put the binary files for the ntldr?
The binary ntldr files are from Mario.
Error messages are in German.
We should probably ship English versions?
For me German is fine, as there is only two possible error messages.
("NTLDR not found" and "Corrupt disk")
Maybe some creative person can use a hexeditor and create some error messages
exclusive for the unattended project(s)?
Well, ..and probably all the things that I forgot :-)
heh, me, unclear? ..just ask.
