i try this soon.

Default my computers booting via network.
I've to install windows and linux parallel on all computers.
If i install them, i first run a script 'pxe_chboot groupname bootfile' 
on server to set the bootfile for the specified group to 
unattended-linuxboot. But the problem is, after reboot, they will boot 
the unattended-linuxboot again. So, each client must run 'pxe_chboot 
MAC_Adr localboot' on server to localboot for the next times. After 
installation has finished a postinstall script runs 'pxe_chboot MAC_Adr 
debian'  to initiate the linux installation. After this finished, pxe 
boot is set to localboot again.
There are also some clients, which still have an os. And before 
unattended starts, i boot an linuximage to resize the harddisk (or is it 
possible to do this during the unattended boot?)

For this, another question:
How can achieve, that unattended installs the os to a specified 
partition? (I think it has something to do with the fdisk_cmds in the 
unattended.txt ?)

Thanks and best regards, Martin
