I've modified the original script a bit and I am attaching it to this message, please verify if the changes make sense. Your changes are an excellent starting point for getting unattended installs integrated. So things I'd like to explore: * Turn the script into a python module * See whether the development version of cobbler already handles windows appropriately. Maybe for now cobbler is not an option, but we can revisit it in the future. * Create an install test that would take as the parameter the type of installation we want to perform (steps/unattended). Any comments/suggestions please let me know. Lucas
