Unattended install
Silent Install allows you to configure Setup to run without user interaction. This installation method
is useful when you want to use the default selections provided by Setup or when you want to run
the installation without being prompted. A system administrator can also create a custom disk
image containing specific drivers and utilities, allowing you to run Setup without further
interaction.
Silent installation can be performed in two ways:
Customized silent install
This method lets you create a customized silent installer allowing the selection of
operating system, language, printer models, drivers, and utilities. Network administrators
can create a customized silent installer to be used by their clients without any
intervention.
Command line silent install
This method cannot be customized and only installs the components in the Typical Install
option without any user intervention.
NOTE: Values that follow equal signs (=) in a command line must not
contain intervening spaces.
Method 1: Command line:
<CD-ROOT>/SETUP/SETUP.EXE /U /PORT=XXXX /PRINTER=N /PD=N
Method 2: Setup.lst
Use the SETUP.1ST file to specify command line arguments to the installer for an
unattended installation. You can send command line arguments in one of the following
ways:
• Send the command directly to the installer.
• Send the command using the SETUP.1ST file.
• Use a combination of the two.
For example, this file contains two options: /port and /printer. The installer operates as
normal because the /u option has not been specified. If you use setup /u for the installer,
it operates in unattended mode and uses the two values specified in the Defaults section
of the SETUP.1ST file. If you use setup /u /printer=1 for the installer, it operates in
unattended mode and chooses the second printer from the list below. (The options
specified on the command line override the options specified in the SETUP.1ST file.) The
options available (see below) can also include the /u option. Using this option key makes
the installer always operate as unattended.
