This is good to know; thank you. It also provides another reason to move away from MS-DOS 6. I actually got a FreeDOS boot disk working yesterday. I am unsure how well it will support all the hardware out there, so the next release of Unattended will almost certainly be a "test" release. > This may sound like an oblivious question, but is there a way of > preventing the windows boot manager asking if I want windows xp or > the previous operating system (on every boot) when I do an > unattended install on it. The default base.bat takes care of this automatically by invoking bootini.pl.
