Now it will automatically reboot.Enter the password for mounting the samba share. It will initiate network install of windows (using the settings you specified before). Once the basic files have been copied to the hard disk, it will reboot.
After 15 seconds, it will automatically boot off the hard disk. Now the text mode installation will take place. Then the machine will reboot.

After 15 seconds, it will boot off the hard disk. Now it will boot into windows and run the post-installation script. Then the machine will reboot, completing the windows installation.
Now, the script will download and execute an installation script. This script first mounts your new root partition at /target and registers itself for gui-dist installation. Once all machines have registered themselves, one runs a gui-dist script on a remote machine. This other script, dists all the machines which have registered themselves, and after that runs the second phase of the installation on each machine.
The second phase script will find that you have the machine setup for a dual boot configuration, find your CDROM and CDRW devices and then generate system configuration files (lilo.conf, fstab, network, hostname, PIKT.conf....), using the information you specified in the [prep] stage, and finally run lilo and reboot your machine, completing the linux installation.
Do whatever you want and start using the machine!
