5.2.1 Windows NT Workstation install files
Windows NT Workstation uses the winnt command. This command uses the
network connection to access the installation files on the boot server. The
winnt command copies all the files needed to complete the installation over
the network into a temporary directory and then continues by performing the
installation from the local hard disk, first going through the text mode setup
and then GUI mode setup.
The syntax of the winnt command is as follows:
entry.cmd logonclt.bat
runonce added by msbatch.inf runonce entries
logonclt.bat
Do not use an OS/2 editor on the server to modify any of the client
response files, such as MSBATCH.INF or UNATTEND.TXT. The code
pages for the OS/2 and Windows operating systems are not compatible.
Language-specific characters (such as accented characters) that display in
the client reponse files do not display correctly when they are created with
an OS/2 editor. To update any of the response files, open the response file
on a Windows system by using a Windows editor to edit and save the
response file. Although, the language-specific characters might not display
as expected when you view them on the OS/2 server, they will function
correctly on the client.
