Using a Response File

A response file can be used during a server installation in one of two ways:


Using a Response File during a Server Installation

  1. Copy the response file to a diskette, hard disk, or network directory accessible by the PC that you are installing NetWare on.

  2. Enter INSTALL to start the server installation.

  3. On the Install Options screen (the first screen after the language section), press F3 for the response file window.

  4. Enter the path for the response file, and then press Enter.

  5. Continue with the rest of the server installation.


Entering a Response File at the Command Line

  1. Copy the response file to a diskette, hard disk, or network directory accessible by the server that you are installing NetWare on.

  2. Start the server installation from CD, hard disk, or network directory by entering

    INSTALL /RF=response_file_DOS_path\filename

    Replace response file DOS path with the path for the response file, and filename with the name of the response file. For example, if you are installing NetWare from a CD and the response file is on a diskette, enter

    D:\INSTALL /RF=A:\RESPONSE.TXT
