Dear all,
after finally having obtained a working self installing CD now I'm wondering if is possible to do the same with an external usb HDD, I mean: it's easy to put all the contents of a working unattended installation on an USB hard drive and then instruct the BIOS to boot from the HDD but which steps I have to follow so that everything works ? I guess it's not the same steps that we have to follow for an unattended CD...could someone advice? It could be useful so that I can save a lot of CDs/DVDs and maybe obtain a faster installation...
Thanks

Anyway the steps are referred to a FAT installation, how do I extract the boot bin for an NTFS installation?
