Eeek .. my bad .. i did saw some references to wpkg, but thougth it'd
be some windows tool/set_of_tools that could help out in the job.
I did however install the unattended-ui and at least graphically and
the content looked like something promising ... is there any way to put
these two to work together?
My idea is to set up a system so i can give "the monkey" a nice web
tool where he can manage things ... or maybe there's already
something(s) that already do this?
I'm sorry about all my "lack of knowledge", but i'm giving the first
steps in this unattended thing... =)
Cheers and thanks for the help.
Hugo.
