Good.  I didn't get that far before I switched to 4.1.  However, it would be 
better if everything built clean with 4.3.  What 
did you have to do?

Yes, there are a couple of issues with the version in CVS.  For example, 
PostgreSQL support probably doesn't quite work since 
three lines of that patch didn't get applied to the version of conf-mysql.pl in 
CVS.

In the version in CVS, it isn't created and that is the problem.  One solution 
is to put the DHCP files in a directory that 
does exist, such as /tmp.  That is what ended up in the patch that I think I 
submitted on the list.  The other solution is to 
make sure that /var/run actually exists and is writable.  From what I recall, 
/var/ gets symlinked to a subdir on the samba 
share which is likely read only for the installer.  This causes a problem.

In order to keep track of what I'm doing, I dumped all of my stuff in a git 
repository.  Git is kind of cool.  I can track 
the CVS repository in one branch and keep my stuff in another reasonably 
easily.  In my repository, the 'origin' branch is 
what is in CVS (up to the last time that I checked for updates) and the 
'master' branch is what I'm using.  As I get stuff 
working for me, I'm pushing it there.  If you want, you can access it with:

git clone git://git.wycliffe.ca/unattended.git

You can browse the patches online at http://git.wycliffe.ca/?p=unattended.git
