Here is a snippet from my modified autoexec.bat :: NET START BASIC /yes @set USERNAME=user @set PASSWORD=password @NET LOGON %USERNAME% %PASSWORD% /yes /savepw:no This way the username/password is available to the install script also, and any setting in system.ini is ignored. > > - Next up is a problem most likely difficult to solve (if possible at > all): with the next reboot, the BIOS will recognize the disk again, and > the disk will start its batch script again, even thought Windows 2000 > Setup should continue.

You could do this for a floppy by installing syslinux on the floppy, and having syslinux boot either from HD (default) or from floppy. I believe the CD already does this. -- Dag Nummedal ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
