Step 3: The WINNER Way Part 1
- Press F12 when the laptop is booting and select Network boot. If you don’t see the Network option in your boot sequence, you’ll probably have to modify your BIOS settings.
- The Linux kernel will load.
- Choose the install interface that most suits your needs. In this guide we’ll use the graphical one, but both have exactly same possibilities. With some specific video adapters, the graphical interface cannot work properly (X11 will fail to display).
- Select Install Windows and click OK.
- Select the Yes option, the system will try to get an IP from DHCP (it should work, of course, since DHCP has been needed to boot on PXE).
- Choose the No option as we have created a windows share, the next screen will allow you to find the share.
- Select SMB
- Give the IP of the box that shares the C:\OUTPUT folder… in my example it was 192.168.2.100 this can be seen in the Tftpd32 dialog.
- Type the name of the share, which is OUTPUT in our sample
- Type a valid user to access the share (domain\user syntax is valid; a user with no domain, like in this example, means this is a local user)
- Type the users password
- Finally, the path to the source files. In our example, there is a \\192.168.2.100\OUTPUT share, no subdir, and therefore the path here is just /. But we could also say the share was \\192.168.2.100\C$, and then, the path would have been /OUTPUT

would have been nice to know that dvd generator was going to use all my internet time to download needed software and file updates BEFORE I started.
Thanks

Hey “steve muller” kiss my ass this guy gets a full round of beer free on the house for posting that last tidbit of info on bypassing the “need windows cd” No other site has that info and the other sites are useless without that piece. /cheers for a good guide

one note though,
in this part
“kernel memdisk
append initrd=w98se-netboot.IMA”
I had to put slashes for netboot to load like this
“kernel /memdisk
append initrd=/w98se-netboot.IMA”
easy fix though thanks again
