This is not exactly what you asked for, but I'm in the same situation and here's how I keep up to date. This method only updates between releases. unzip current and previous packages: cd /tmp unzip $SRCDIR/unattended-4.3.zip unzip $SRCDIR/unattended-4.4-test2.zip create diff of changes: diff -Nru unattended-4.3 unattended-4.4-test2 > patch apply diff to local unattended copy: cd $SAMBA/unattended patch -p1 < /tmp/patch search for rejects (not needed if all of the patch applied cleanly): find . -name "*.rej" edit each file that came up in the search to resolve conflicts. search for binary files (which diff and patch don't handle): grep differ /tmp/patch pick out the binary files and copy manually. there are usually only a few of these, and most are the dos drivers and don't need to be copied if you're using the linux boot disk. replace the linuxaux folder: cd /tmp unzip $SRCDIR/unattended-4.4-test2-linuxboot.zip rm -rf $SAMBA/install/linuxaux cp -r unattended-4.4-test2/install/linuxaux $SAMBA/install/ burn a new iso. I don't use pxe, but you'd have to update your tftpboot folder next if required. I also don't use the dos bootdisk anymore so I can't comment on what extra steps need to be done for that. The last time I checked though, it was easy enough to build the dos disks locally so I didn't bother downloading them. Hope that helps someone (even if it's not what you're looking for). -- Daniel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
