I wasn't requesting help, just trying to report a bug. However, how did you
fix it? Did you edit install.pl? or did you find an entry that works?

Patrick,

I was trying to use the unattend.txt in the site directory to skip the
question about local_admins by adding local_admins="" to the meta section.
Install.pl accepts this just fine, but it writes local_admins= , without the
empty string, to the final unattend.txt. Winnt.exe complains that this is a
bad format. If you manually add the empty string back, it works. Might want
to get this fixed.

Subject:        [Unattended] Unattended 2.5 released

The big new feature in this release is the automatic construction of
[Unattended]/OemPnPDriversPath.  The install.pl script now recursively
grovels the directories under winXXXX/i386/$oem$/$1 looking for anything
which looks like a driver directory, and offers to add it to
OemPnPDriversPath.  I decided to implement this because I have been
switching between Win2k and WinXP installs a lot lately.  To see this
feature in action, simply remove OemPnPDriversPath entirely from your
site/unattend.txt file.

I wrote the new code using Perl's File::Spec module, which means it is
pretty much portable between DJGPP and Unix Perl.  This is just in case I
ever get sufficiently tired of banging my head against DOS that I try to
port this thing to a Linux boot disk.  (Just today, I lost most of the
afternoon futzing around with DOS memory issues...  More on that in another
message.)

This release also adds the oft-requested support for the RealTek RTL8139
chipset.  I do not have one of these gadgets, so if you do, please test it
out and let me know how it goes.

Finally, I switched from FreeDOS edit.exe to DJGPP Pico as the default
editor.  That means you will need to download Pico along with the other
DJGPP packages; see the DJGPP section in os.html for the relevant link.

Perhaps the most interesting part of this release is the stuff which it does
NOT have, including some bugs which I promised to fix.  Sorry about that;
they will have to wait for next time.

 - Pat

*** Changes in version 2.5 (2003-Mar-09)

Use DJGPP Pico instead of FreeDOS edit.exe to edit files.  Document this new
requirement.

Automatically scan i386/$oem$/$1 looking for driver directories. Offer to
add any such directories to OemPnPDriversPath.

Always use upper-case for driver name in system.ini, since PCNet driver
requires it.

Add support for RealTek RTL8139 cards (untested).  Thanks to Eugene
Kotlyarov for the pointer.

Deal with annoying ipconfig.exe behavior, where it exits with various
statuses from 10 to 16.

When fdisk is run by hand, do not clobber partition table first and do not
replace first partition with 2G FAT partition afterwards.  In other words,
assume anybody running fdisk manually knows exactly what they are doing.

Do not create postinst.bat unless it has something to do, and do not set
AutoLogon nor [GuiRunOnce]/Command0 unless we create postinst.bat.

Clean up various documentation.

Sync with SYSLINUX 2.02.

Sync with FreeDOS fdisk 1.1.4 beta.
