Microsoft Windows install_win.sh sample script

The install_win.sh sample script performs many of the same hardware configuration tasks
described in

“Performing an unattended operating system installation” (page 14)

.

Additionally, the sample install_win.sh script for Microsoft Windows performs preinstallation
tasks, including:

Creating a 2 GiB FAT16 primary partition

Formatting the partition for the FAT file system

Creating a boot sector for the partition

Copying the FreeDOS operating system to the new C drive

Copying the Windows installation sources, the $oem$ directory, and unattend.txt files
to the C drive

To use the install_win.sh sample script to install Microsoft Windows and install_w2k8.sh
sample script to install Windows Server 2008:
1.

Create an unattend.txt file by following the instructions in the Microsoft documentation
(

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/155197

). A sample unattend.txt file is included in the

windows_unattend

directory.

2.

Copy the Windows source files to the installation source. In this sample script, the installation
source is a NFS file share.

3.

Adapt the script to perform the correct hardware configuration, and change the NFS server
IP address and path to match your environment.

4.

Update the syslinux configuration file (pxelinux.cfg, isolinux.cfg, or syslinux.cfg)
to reference the install_win.sh or install_w2k8.sh sample script.

Red Hat Linux anaconda-ks.cfg sample file

The operating system-dependent unattended installation file is not created by the Toolkit utilities.
The user must create the file separately. In the following example, bold lines indicate modifications
made to fully automate the installation of the operating system.

For a complete description of the options that can be modified in the anaconda-ks.cfg
unattended installation file to customize the installation of Red Hat Linux, see the operating system
documentation or the Red Hat Linux 9: Red Hat Linux Customization Guide (
