Yes I did do something like:
map_drive("server");# to the pxelinux.cfg
writepxe ($hex); riped a load of code from the fai-chboot script of fai.
send_broadcast_packet ($mac); Wake up and away... The are a few perl scripts around
that do this,
What it I would realy like is databaseing the config info, I had a look at the
sample_config.pl cvs which is a great start, but I did find it one of the harder parts
of the project to read (hash_ref ([EMAIL PROTECTED],)! a realy db would be great and
maybe simpler in the end!
Thanks
Max

Thanks for this Max.
PXELinux can call a different pxelinux.cfg file based upon that the client's IP
address. Therefore is there something I can put in the pxelinux.cfg config file that
will pass a parameter name containing the unattended.txt file to use to unattended???

All you need to do is $u->read("another_unattend.txt"); in the config.pl file, That
will do the modification to the $u object. How you get the options from tftp is
another problem, I think you would have to add an export to the mastor script, but
I've not done it that way, so maybe someone else has?.
I do it by reading a file for the pc that has all the settings, something like (see
below) this in the config.pl. Sorry but it is realy messy code! But I can see the
advantage of having the PC config coming from dhcp.
my $pc = pcname();
if ($pc) {
my $pcsettings = "/z/site/users/$pc" or croak "can not chdir $!";
if (-e "$pcsettings"){
$u->read("$pcsettings");
print "reading usersettings $pc\n";
}else{
print "No user settings! for $pcsettings\n";
};
};
# pcname looks in the users.txt file for the hardweare address
# and the pc that is linked to it, the should be a file like my_pc_name=macaddress for
each pc. sub pcname { my $hardwareadd = $u->{'_meta'}->{'macaddr'};
unless ($hardwareadd =~ m/[a-fA-F0-9]{12}/){
$u->{'UserData'}->{'ComputerName'} =
sub {
my $name = simple_q ("Please Enter computer name :\n");
return $name;
};
};
my @users = read_file ('z:\\site\\users.txt');
for $user (@users){
if ($user =~ m/(^.*)=($hardwareadd)/i){
my $pc = $1;
print "PC is $pc\n";
return $pc;
};
};
return;
}
Thanks

Subject: [Unattended] Multiple unattend.txt files?
Hi,
Is it possible to use multiple unattended.txt files? I mean, I want to be able to
build two different types of Windows servers from the same OS repository (e.g.
os/win2k/i386/...) and just specify different unattended.txt (ideally on the tftp boot
like as another z_ parameter?).
Thanks,
Neil
