Hello,
I am new to unattended and admire what you have done, I just need help in getting past one little problem. I can't seem to get past the point where the OS boots, after the OS files are copied.
I am using the LINUX boot CD, from 4.6.
I have my share all set up with win2k and winxp, and a few applications.
When using win2k, I get through mounting the share, partitioning the drive, formatting the drive, choosing the OS, putting the product key etc., the OS files are copied over to the drive and the OS install goes through and then the computer reboots, to do the next step in the OS install, and now I am not sure what I am supposed to be doing.
Hi Chad,
in the BIOS, set the boot sequence 1. CD rom drive 2. first HDD this should work.
When the file copy phase has begun, put the CD off your CD drive and leave it off.
When the computer reboots, your CD drive *must be empty*, otherwise you're stuck in a continues loop as you mentioned.
In fact, the Linux boot CD will show a message "if running from CD you may eject it now..." (or something similar like this) some time before the selection of application packages. I suppose you just haven't seen this...
