Hi....
Somewhat newbit question....
I was just wondering if unattended can be made to work (without undue
effort) if I use nLite to slipstream MS hotfixes (eg: RyanVM's Update
Pack) or integrate drivers into the WinXP/2k3 OS file tree?
Slipstreaming is very easy since it works directly on the OS setup tree.
Unattended also has some pretty good scripts to make driver-installation
easy.
I have tried to use nLite to integrate drivers with XP, but during the
install it complained about missing files....
I then tried to use nLite to slipstream hotfixes with XP, but again
during the install it complained about missing files....(things like
.fon and .dll files)....
Never used nLite, most of the patches have a slipstream option. Check
out the MS KB.
I am guessing that the problem is that nLite and slipstreaming was
intended for the WINNT.SIF method of unattended installations, but the
unattended.sourceforge.net way uses an unattended.txt file + DOS mode
for initial install......am I near the mark?
I don't know about nLite, but slipstreaming shouldn't care what your
install method is, it just patches the OS setup tree. The
unattend.txt/Unattended method is, I think, better because you can
script it to install patches, applications, drivers, etc that can not be
slipstreamed.
Thanx in advance
Chris Bradshaw.
