Re:RE: [Unattended] Editing ISOlinux.cfg
I decided to give this a shot. Unfortunately I get an error.. isolinux: Image checksum erorr, sorry All I did was modify ISOLINUX.CFG and replace it in the ISO with winiso. Is there a more acceptable method that doesn't involve completely rebuilding the ISO?

SMB doesn't work over routed networks without special configuration of the machine itself, so you're going to have to do a lot of manual configuring from *very* early in the piece. I don't envy you the job. In my opinion SMB is not really a problem over routed networks as I can easily mount the SMB share of my home-pc over DSL at work without any problems. All you need is a working IP configuration and the ip of the SMB server. The problem is, that if you do not have a DHCP server in the network behind DSL, you cannot use unattended because it does only supports the manual insertion of the SMB server ip, but not the network configuration of the host. Here at work we have several network segments without DHCP and it would be great to use unattended within any network without installing a DHCP server everywhere. Manual network configuration would be a nice solution, I think. I don't know much about the internals of unattended, but I think it could be done with bearable efford. If there is any wish- or todolist for future releases, it would be very nice if manual interface configuration for the host is listed there. :-) Regards, Ollie. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IntelliVIEW -- Interactive Reporting Tool for open source databases.

RE: [Unattended] How much is a multiuser license for XP pro ?
Felipe, Windows XP pricing differs greatly from organization to organization. For instance, I am on the University of Nevada, Reno (USA) campus and we pay less then $50/year for each full-time equivalent employee (FTE). This covers operating system and Microsoft Office licenses for all my users and my lab machines -- this is known as our Campus Agreement. I have heard or other names but your best source for this information is at the Microsoft site. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/default.mspx Hope this helps out. Good luck.
