Re: [Unattended] Problem installing application

Never mind; I found it. "pause" (in perl.bat) takes no arguments. Sorry about that. Your problem is that you need to download Activestate Perl. Error message fixed in next release. - Pat --- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest

[Unattended] Unattended 4.4a released

The bug where we invoked Parted in semi-interactive mode and consumed the output bothers me. And XP SP2 final is out. And the new Linux kernel supports more hardware. So here goes 4.4a. Not many changes but not well tested, either. So we may or may not see 4.4b later this week. NEWS.txt entry

Re: [Unattended] Office 2003: Where do I have to put the key?

The %PIDKEY% environment variable thing is a holdover from a bad idea I had a while ago. What I do is to edit the last line of ofc2003.bat to replace "PIDKEY=%PIDKEY%" with "PIDKEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY". That's the product key without hyphens. (I am pretty sure removing the hyphens was nece

Re: [Unattended] RE : Linux Boot CD

I hit this today myself. The workaround is to type "i" and press Enter when it hangs. (Parted is printing a silly warning and asking whether you want to ignore it.) Fixed in next release. - Pat Martin Schröer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Yes, the Linux Boot CD is finally able to find any O

Re: [Unattended] WinXP Volume License CD

We have some reports that our DOS-based boot disk is having trouble creating files, especially with smartdrv enabled. I use the Linux-based disk, and installations of slipstreamed XP SP2 (volume license media) works fine for me. So I suggest trying the Linux boot disk :-). - Pat Ty Moffett <[
