Nice "Unattended XP install Guide"

[Sun]

i just downloaded all the updates/hotfixes and other apps like IE6sp1 and dx9b, hope this works out fine.

http://unattended.msfn.org/

i am trying it on 2k pro and hopefully the steps are similar to XP.

Looks neat! Let us know how it goes with 2000, and if SP4 can be worked in, etc.

it looks great sm8000. No need for any human intervention...

It works except i haven't tried using cmdlines.txt to install Ie6sp1 and dx9b.

I am looking for the application setup switches.

Got some easy reference from Microsoft's Site.
