Hi all, I'm currently using unattended-4.7 on a CentOS 5 server and I have a question concerning the installation of hotfixes and applications "the unattended way".
The setup works fine, I can install my machines using diskless PXE boot. The problem is when I want to add hotfixes and applications. I first put all batch scripts (except perl.bat which I do not touch) which were in the scripts directory in a subdirectory which I called "unused_scripts" for lack of a better name. I downloaded 7-zip and vlc binaries, placed them in the packages directory; copied the 7-zip.bat and vlc.bat back into the scripts directory and edited them in order to keep only the minimal number of lines. That works fine, cool. :-) I then copied the firefox and thunderbird scripts into the scripts directory and downloaded the binaries into the packages directory. That works too, great. :-) Feeling very bold and lucky, I then copied the winxpsp*.bat scripts back into the scripts directory and ran the script-update and prepare tools with the proper language code (FRA). It indeed updated my scripts and downloaded the binaries to the proper directories, brilliant. :-) Unfortunately, when I run the installation of a machine, the only applications I can install are 7-zip, vlc, firefox and thunderbird. No trace of the updates anywhere. I checked rights on files and folders, that's OK. I tried copying the binaries to the packages directory and editing the scripts, to no avail. I just can't get these updates to appear in the applications list... There must be something obvious missing which I can't, for the life of me, spot. :-( Can someone point me to a clue? That would be great. :-) Thanks a lot and congratulations for this great project. :-) Cheers, -- Oliver Henriot, UMS MI2S, http://mi2s.imag.fr/ Moyens Informatiques et Multimédia Domaine universitaire BP53 / 38041 Grenoble cedex 9 / France tel.: +33 4 76 51 43 48 fax: +33 4 76 51 47 15 Trust in CNRS's certificates http://igc.services.cnrs.fr/Doc/General/trust.html
