You don't necessarily need to use the "guest" account. If you'd like to create another account for that purpose you can, but keep in mind that that account will have to have read access to the share where unattended is installed. To do this, you have three options. You can: 1) make your own copy of the boot disk with the username and password set to something different 2) always select Y when asked "Override bootdisk defaults" and then fill in the fields manually 3) pass the username and password to use as DHCP options. Set option 223 in DHCP to "z-drive-mapping"and give it a value in the following format: "z_user=username z_pass=password z_path=//servername/sharename" Note that the slashes in z_path ARE forward slashes "/". I'm not sure if you actually have to specify each of those or if there are other options you can add, but those work for me. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
