Hi All

Great project BTW.

In order for the bootdisk not to request a user name I made the following changes.

autoexec.bat
@SET USERNAME=GUEST
@SET PASSWD=
@NET LOGON %USERNAME% %PASSWD% /YES /SAVEPW:NO

net\system.ini
[NETWORK]
        USERNAME=GUEST
        PASSWORDCACHING=NO
        PREFERREDREDIR=BASIC
        AUTOSTART=BASIC

The changes to net\system.ini make sure the basic redirector is loaded thereby 
conserving memory.

I do not have the facility to use PXE so cannot try PXE out but it should work.

or if that does not work try using

type stuff.txt |net start basic

stuff.txt
Username
Password (or a line with a return)

No third line is necessary because PASSWORDCACHING=NO in net\system.ini prevents net 
start from asking whether to save password.

It would be nice if the boot disk tried the defaults before asking for input I have 
changed my disk but want to see if the changes I suggest above work with PXE before 
submitting those changes.


A few other comments

Installing win2k fails because the perl install depends on a more resent version of 
the windows installer. You can install the latter windows installer but it requires a 
reboot.  I tried it without a reboot and it appears to work so maybe ok.

Also the oem version of win2k allows a win2ksp3 that works to be setup so maybe not a 
problem.

The GuiRunOnce file is empty if you use an unattended.txt site file with GuiRunOnce 
listed in it the files just does not get created.  Any thoughts?


Regards
