Unattended version 4.0b is now available for download from <http://unattended.sourceforge.net>. This is primarily a bug-fix release.
The most interesting addition is Shad's install/site/sample-config.pl. It is so interesting that I think I will start a different thread to discuss it. Thanks to the work of several contributors, the "prepare" script now downloads the updates for several languages (English, Dutch, Russian, German, and French). This release also includes the current versions of Jeff Black's "step-by-step.html" and "cygwin.html" guides. These are under active development, so we do not link to them just yet... We will be updating them on the Web site and adding links there between now and the next release. NEWS.txt entry is appended. As always, feedback is welcome. Enjoy! - Pat ** Changes in version 4.0b (2004-Mar-20) Add Shad's sample configuration as install/site/sample-config.pl. This causes Unattended to use a pair of spreadsheets (hardware.csv and software.csv) to automatically determine the host name, Windows product key, and other things. We may make this behavior the default in future releases; join the unattended-info mailing list if you would like to express an opinion. Ship ZIP archives instead of .tar.gz archives, because WinZip is too clever by half and mangles our line endings. Add Dutch updates and download URLs. Thanks to Niels de Groot. Add Russian updates and download URLs. Thanks to Eugene Kotlyarov. Add German updates and download URLs. Thanks to Gerhard Heift and Jan Brauer. Add French updates and download URLs. Thanks to Sylvain Faivre. Replace all Office XP updates with Office XP Service Pack 3. Add ofc2003.bat script for installing Office 2003. Thanks to imdos. (DOS) Update to SYSLINUX 2.09-pre13. This should fix the corrupted isolinux.bin file in the last couple of releases. (Linux) Add support for I2O adapters (e.g., Adaptec 2110S). (Linux) Upgrade to dosemu 1.2.1 and Linux 2.6.4. Might improve support for some hardware. (Linux) Apply patch to Parted so it can compile against recent toolchain/kernel. See <http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2003/debian-glibc-200311/msg00400.html>. Thanks to Mark Pavlichuk. (DOS) Update Broadcom 57xx (b57.dos) and VIA Rhine (fetnd.dos) drivers to latest versions from Broadcom's and VIA's sites, respectively. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
