Good info! I always create a small as possible partition and set ExtendOEMPartition=yes The result is more or less the same. > With the file: > https://unattended-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/unattended-gui/z/etc/ini >t/profiles/unattended-gui/01install which was the base for the nt5 install > script you can: > - install win NT/XP/W2K/W2K3/Vista/Windows 7 > - install NT/XP/W2K/W2K3 on a fat or ntfs partition without the 4GB > limitation > - install via multicast > - install compressed installation files > - .... > See more here: > http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/www/index.php?loadsub=quwiki&func=wik >i&type=index&show=25#2.

How do you solve partition settings? I guess the user define them somewhere, and linuxboot read them and executes. So you must have a way to transfer the from the user into the linuxboot. Im asking because we still use a fdisk to parted command translation. I had to look into that today, .. what a pain in the ass.. mvh Nils Olav ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
