PXE / WDS Boot Question

Question

I'm working with Win 2003 Server on a PXE/WDS installation.

 

We've created a custom PXE menu for our deployment and everything is working fine. We are now looking at deploying to machines without keyboards (but do have touch screen / mouse input enabled).

 

The problem I'm running into is how to use mouse only input on the custom PXE menu (if that's even possible).

 

Is there a way to do this? I'm using vesamenu.c32 to create the custom PXE menu.

 

Hopefully this is the right forum - it's my first post. If this should go somewhere else, let me know and I'll repost.

you cannot use mouse with vesamenu.

 

what you can do is to display the menu on a serial line terminal emulator (if COM1 available), then an unattended install should do the rest.

 

for a neat integration of WDS and PXE and also a WDS alternative see Serva,

here you have explained the serial line control of vesamenu
