sample-config.pl

Hi Shad, hi folks!


Today, I implemented your excellent sample for config.pl (with mysql)
in my Unattended system and added some php-pages for database
maintainance on the server.

Surprisingly I had a couple of problems with the sample, some of them
are not solved yet.

For example, I had to comment-out the whole fdisk-command-block
because perl complained about the variables and I am not fit enough
in perl to figure that out.

The next problem is the "ProductKey" value. You chose to look for
"<os_name> ProductKey". This makes problems here, as it matches on
the full content of <os_name> and that value contains some kind of
garbage in all four cases of my installation media (win2k, ws2k,
winxp and ws2k3).

I think it would be better to look for <OS_media> instead of
<os_name>.

But I do not understand why it is necessary to include any reference
to the OS here. This is senseful only if you set OS_media *and*
ProductKey, which is not the case.

So, I would propose to only look for "ProductKey" and push its value
for both "ProductID" and "ProductKey". I tried this on my copy and it
works.

What do you think?
