Sure. If you know what you're doing you can figure a way to do this with little local system interaction. Still, it's probably easier to just provide a CD with a custom install. There's stuff in the email archives that talks about creating custom server that you can apply to the custom CD/install. Essentially, you just cobble up the packages you want and add them all to the base installation package. Then just run setup. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
