Ah, that would be a problem... Not all of those settings are really meant to be user-tweakable. > Another potential issue is that my samba share isn't called > ntinstall\install.

That is not necessary. Once you get the mapznrun thing corrected, the install.pl script will create "tempcreds.bat" and "permcreds.bat" files with the correct values. Just fix it on the bootdisk and you will be all set. > So the problems: > - mapznrun.bat isn't being copied to c:\netinst > - postinst.bat isn't being created (it's blank when I edit it at > the "do you want to edit" point in the install). > > You'll note this is true even though I've got top, middle, and bottom > defined. > > Any ideas? The code which produce the value for [_meta]/postinst also creates the file. So you should omit the "postinst=" settings from your [_meta] section. In general, I suggest omitting any settings which you do not want to change: > [_meta] > netinst = C:\netinst Omit, since this is the default. > postinst = C:\netinst\postinst.bat Omit, since otherwise postinst.bat will not be created. > ntp_servers = 192.168.56.250 This is fine. > autolog = "autolog.pl --logon=0" Omit (default). > z_password = password > z_drive = Z: > z_user = user > z_path = \\myserver\unattended Omit, since these will be set automatically from the values on the boot disk. > os_dir = Z:\os Omit (default). > OS_media = Z:\os\winxpsp1 This is fine. > edit_files = 1 Omit (default). > fdisk_lba = 1 > fdisk_confirm = 0 > replace_mbr = 1 > fdisk_cmds="fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /prio:2000;fdisk /activate:1" > format_cmd="format /y /q /v: c:" > doit_cmds = "z:;cd Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386;winnt /rx:lang > /s:Z:\os\winxpsp1\i386 /u:C:\netinst\unattend.txt" > local_admin_group = Administrators > ; First script run by postinst.bat > top=base.bat > ; Optional script(s) run by postinst.bat > middle=officexp.bat > ; Last script(s) run by postinst.bat > bottom="" These are all fine. And yes, this should definitely be documented better. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
