Not all! Sum don't sum are undecided most haven't answered jet. One is very busy and Network Administrator just like I am. I think all depends on him..cuz I don't know other persons with that skill. I haven't asked Nuhi jet, but I think if u all really want to make this project reality u join it.
The  admin ist the one who started a project similar to mine, but his endusers were admins not users like in my project.
By the way he developed a installation system which worked for 30.000 computers.
The company I'm working for is not a goverment company like he's workin for, so I've only 500computers working in this location.
Now, if he reads his mails I think he'll be interested and joins this project (I hope so).

If you and others join this..the first we've to do is to talk about the project and where we'd to start and and so on..before adding a new project at sourceforge.net.

PS: my first project was aimed for winpe, but thats not a good choice like I noticed now.
I haven't compiled c++ for linux jet, but we'll see. The most important thing I think is, that the original cd is not touched, but modified on the fly if the enduser/admin approves it (we don't want to break any license agreements wink

Hello!

I'm actually developing a project which will easily customize installations of Windows.
It'll work as follows: A very slim 32Bit OS is launched (actually I think about using WinPE, but maybe using *nix systems is a better choice). This miniOS will start the skinable Setup Assistant in Fullscreen mode. The aim of this project is to make a universal, but custom and flexible Windows installation. The setup assistant makes the original windows setup unnecessary and shortens the installation period while still offering all customizing options (ie. preview of how the desktop will look like before setup is even started). The miniOS will have the option to dial the internet to check for preset packs and updates. Universal presets will make installation a lot of easier, since the user only needs to input his name, org. and key and if wanted more data like domain etc.. Preset packs may include custom Themes, Wallpapers, Registry settings, application slipstreams and many more.

When I saw you'r project and nlite and sereby's updatepacks and many more projects.... I decided to put all projects together in a mother project where your's will be a sub-project from this perspective.

NO XP PROJECT IS PERFECT, BUT YOUR PROJECT MAKES IT COME A BIG STEP CLOSER!
Thats's why I want to ask you if you want to help me realizing this project, how much time you have does not realy matter, cuz I've not much time anyway.
u know job and scool...am working as Networkadmin by the way. And I live in Germany.

I know realizing this project is not easy so please lets talk about it and be a member!


regards
