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 (on page
)."
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
. 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.
Refer to the operating system documentation or the Red Hat Linux 9: Red Hat Linux Customization Guide
or 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.
