Still strange: my site/unattend.txt contains a [_meta] section (defining
NTP server) and the fact to use "$u->{'_meta'}->{'ntinstall_cmd'} =
'/z/site/nt5x-install' " in site/config.pl implies no ask for choose
between DOSEMU or nt5x-install .
This might be related to the use of CSV entries perhaps.

No, this is my fault: see next post.
