For

information

about

incorporating

modules

in

Preparing

source

files

for

an

I386

base

operating-system

module

The

source

files

for

an

I386

base

operating-system

module

are

available

in

the

I386

folder

of

a

Windows

XP

Home,

Windows

XP

Professional,

or

Windows

2000

installation

CD.

These

files

are

operating-system

specific

as

well

as

language

specific.

Therefore,

you

must

create

separate

source

folders

for

each

operating

system/language

combination.

The

best

way

to

prepare

these

source

files

is

to

create

separate

folders

for

each

operating-system/language

combination

on

your

local

drive

or

on

a

network

drive.

If

you

are

using

a

network

drive,

make

sure

the

ImageUltra

Builder

console

can

access

the

source

files.

The

following

is

an

example

of

a

folder

structure

for

the

source

files:

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_PRO\FRENCH

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_HOME\FRENCH

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH

After

you

create

the

folder

structure,

copy

the

complete

I386

folder

from

the

appropriate

Windows

installation

CD

to

the

folder

you

created

for

it.

The

following

is

an

example

of

the

folder

structures

after

copying

the

I386

folder

from

the

various

Windows

installation

CDs:

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_PRO\FRENCH\I386

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\XP_HOME\FRENCH\I386

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\I386

Once

you

have

copied

the

source

files

from

the

Windows

installation

CD,

no

modifications

are

required

to

the

source

files.

Note:

Although

one

file

in

the

I386

folder,

the

UNATTEND.TXT

file,

contains

customer-unique

product

identification

(PID)

and

locale

information,

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

enables

you

to

create

this

file

externally

and

replace

the

file

dynamically

during

the

installation

process.

The

external

UNATTEND.TXT

file

enables

you

to

maintain

a

single

set

of

I386

source

folders

and

modules

that

can

be

used

for

a

variety

of

customers

and

locales.

For

more

information

about

preparing

the

UNATTEND.TXT

file,

see

“Setting

the

attributes

for

an

UNATTEND.TXT

module”

on

page

138.

Continue

with

“Setting

the

attributes

for

an

I386

base

operating-system

module.”
