Nice work Gmas
these tools are also helpful in creating a network unattended install
all is needed is the netboot file on a floppy

WOnderful! Wonderful! I have slipstreamed xp pro and sp2 without the unattend...I would like to try that next..yet have a question.....during last install I was not given option to select a user name to show up on the start menu. When puter booted up post installs of OS and drivers...the user name was Administrator! How did this happen? Any thoughts?

hi nurz

i do help quite a few people with their pc's and installation of windows xp and have found that depending on the version of xp (home, pro, corp) - and on the hardware (network card, modem) - that some options such as network (during installation) and even user name (right at end of installation) sometimes dont appear and then one has to manually add them.

by default, if i'm not mistaken - adding of user name - usually only appears right after final boot - when you get the 'let's spend a few minutes setting up your computer' thing?

on my unattended installation i had to specifically add the files i've indicated under User Logon to get my user name in

hope that helps - perhaps someone with a much better understanding of the whole setup process than i have - can add their comments
