properlw from cd to shared location folder wich is in a
different disk that the OS.
DHCP and DSN is activated and working fine

Then I have a secon pc used for test with compatible
network boot device.
When it boots it promps me to press aa key to start the
installation then I am able to login as administrator.

At that time installation start and after few second I get
error saying :

"Cannot create temporary unattended setup answer file"

and I cannot continue, I have cerify that there is a tmp
folder on shared folder created by RIS but empty

how to solved that?

Do you have this folder: \\RISServerName\REMINST\tmp ? If not then create
it. Give Everyone read & write permmissions to it.

Hopefully that will help.

no I do not have that tmp folder on my distribution share
point.
I will give atry and create it.

But now why RISsetup did not create that folder if it is
needed ?

Good question... I've asked similar things many times.
