Syntax
A response file is a Windows .INI-type file. Data items are identified as keys,
and keys have associated values (Key = value). These keys are grouped in
sections. For the NetWare installation program, each data input screen has one
or more sections associated with it. Section names of the installation generally
correspond to the function of the screens.
Section and key names are case sensitive. Values associated with keys are not
case sensitive. Semicolons placed at the beginning of a line indicate that the
line is a comment.
Sections can be placed in any order. However, if there are two or more sections
with the same section name, the first section listed in the response file will be
used and the other sections will be ignored.
The following sections apply to the NetWare server installation. They are
listed in the order they are used during installation.
