MORE INFORMATION
================
Command-Line Switches:
SETUP.EXE Run from MS-DOS
-------------------------
/N - Sets up a shared copy of Windows from a network server to a workstation or a
user directory. This switch should be used when the you want to run Windows from
a network server. In this mode, Setup only copies the few files that are
necessary to personalize your Windows configuration. This is used after the
SETUP /A.
/I - Ignores hardware detection. During Setup, you will need to check the
accuracy of settings on the system information screen, and make corrections if
needed. This switch should be used in cases where the hardware detection is
suspected of causing Setup to fail.
/B - Sets up Windows with monochrome display attributes.
/T - Searches the hard drive for terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs, and
notifies you about certain programs.
/C - Turns off the search for TSR programs.
/A - Administrative setup. It places Windows on a network server. Setup expands
and copies all files on every disk to a given directory, and marks them
read-only. After this is done, SETUP /N can be run from the workstation.
/O:filespec - Specifies the SETUP.INF file.
/S:filepath - Specifies a path to the setup disk(s).
/H:filespec - Batch mode setup. Sets up Windows with little or no user
interaction. "Filespec" is the name of the system settings file that contains
user's configuration settings. If "Filespec" is not in the directory from which
Windows is being set up, the path must be included.
/? - Displays instructions for running Setup from the MS-DOS prompt.
SETUP.EXE Run from Windows
