So we could put that in an init file at boot time. Not sure how this helps the installer. Maybe he can start up get an emergency holographic shell run the attach and then start the install from the CD. Or maybe someone could create a special boot disk for him that will do that. It works for me. On Dec 16, 2006, at 3:46 PM, Alastair G.
