There are two places in the NetWare installation where you can use install
scripts:
At the end of the preliminary file copy (just prior to the launching of the
graphical portion of the install). An install script executed here can be
used for copying files from the DOS partition to the SYS volume.
At the end of the NetWare installation. It is called right after you answer
AOK@ or ANo@ on the closing screen and before the install cleanup
process. This script is useful if you want to manage files and launch NLM
programs (for example, those that install other products) as part of the
NetWare installation.
The following response file syntax is used to run install scripts during the
NetWare installation:
[NWI:Install Script] Section
Script Location = <string>
Default None
Values (existing DOS path up to 255 characters)
Key Required No
Example Script Location = C:\NWUPDATE\PRECOPY.IC?
Purpose Identifies the filename and path of an Install Script that will
be executed at the end of the preliminary file copy (prior to
the launching of the graphical portion of the install).
NOTE: Usage of the ? wildcard in the extension of the
filename will suppress an error if the specified file does not
exist.
