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?

LoPresti' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Unattended] Trying to skip questions 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. Jason -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick J. LoPresti Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 2:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
