Wait ... I thought we weren't supposed to use "fix_disk_geo_heads" and "fix_disk_geo_sectors" if we wanted nt5xinstall to take care of fixing "random features"?! Or did I misunderstand what's written on http://ubertechnique.com/unattended/nt5xinstall ? So which is it? Should i set those two options to make nt5x-install do the magic or should i not? > Looks like there is a need for some sanity checking and more logic in > install.pl. > My head started to hurt just by digging those url's out of my bookmarks :-/ Oh believe me, I know your pain ... Try writing unattended installation scripts for a couple dozen retarded learning softwares (primary school stuff)... THAT's pure horror. -.- There is less than zero documentation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
