Hey, I just noticed the new cast-o-matic with the option to add things.
It's a great idea, and I've been trying to use it. However, I've been running into problems.
First, it seems even though I'm telling it I want to preconfigure the boot disk menu, the floppy image is still prompting me for every option. I need to send this to an associate whom will not really understand the options given, and preconfiguring will be my best bet.
Another thing, I statically built sfdisk and made a script for it to load so I can partition the drive before dumping a partition load, but the problem is, it executes the commands after the udp boot disk menu/options are run, so if the hard drive isn't partitioned, I have no /dev/hda1 option yet.
Is there a way to make it so my sfdisk runs before the udpcast menu? Before the options are set?
Thanks!

You need to select YES to the very first question "Do you wish to pre-configure the boot disk menu?"
Without this, all the answers are ignored.

Since today, there is now an additional box "Commands to be executed before udpcast menu:" into which you can enter commands that are run at the very beginning.
