Preparing

source

files

for

the

UNATTEND.TXT

module

Each

I386

base

operating-system

module

requires

at

least

one

UNATTEND.TXT

add-on

operating-system

module.

The

UNATTEND.TXT

module

contains

two

files:

v

A

customized

UNATTEND.TXT

file

(either

UNATTEND.W2K

or

UNATTEND.WXP,

depending

on

the

operating

system

you

are

installing).

This

UNATTEND.TXT

file

enables

the

operating

system

to

be

installed

either

unattended

or

moderately-attended.

v

A

special

batch

file

(ModuleN.BAT)

that

dynamically

replaces

the

default

UNATTEND.TXT

file

in

the

I386

folder

during

installation

with

the

customized

version.

The

UNATTEND.W2K,

UNATTEND.WXP,

and

ModuleN.BAT

files

are

provided

as

part

of

the

ImageUltra

Builder

program

in

the

\SOURCE\COPYI386

folder

of

your

repository.

You

cannot

access

these

source

files

from

the

ImageUltra

Builder

interface;

you

must

use

Windows

Explorer

or

Computer.

If

you

cannot

remember

the

path

to

your

repository,

in

the

ImageUltra

Builder

Main

window,

click

File

and

then

click

Open

Repository...

.

The

repository

paths

are

listed.

You

can

use

any

repository

that

has

been

created

by

or

updated

by

the

ImageUltra

Builder

2.2

program.

Preparation

of

these

source

files

involves

the

following

steps:

1.

Set

up

a

source

folder

for

each

operating-system/language/customer

combination.

For

example:

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\LENOVO\UNATTEND

2.

Copy

the

contents

of

the

\SOURCE\COPYI386

folder

(from

your

repository)

into

each

source

folder.

files

in

each

source

folder:

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\LENOVO\UNATTEND\UNATTEND.W2K

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\LENOVO\UNATTEND\UNATTEND.WXP

X:\ULTRAPORTABLE\2000\FRENCH\LENOVO\UNATTEND\ModuleN\
