That is  E-X-A-C-T-L-Y  what I just described.

It is quite obvious to me that you didn't try it nor read the documents. sad     Grrr.   

Here is a little more detailed info.

Copy your winnt.sif to a bootable floppy with CD rom support. (Rename/move I386\Winnt.sif to A:\unattended.txt.)
Make the following line the last line in the floppys autoexec.bat file. Alternately you could create a batch file, or just type it at a command prompt.

E:\i386\Winnt.exe /s:E:\i386 /u:A:\unattend.txt

(IF E: is the drive letter of your CD rom and A: is your floppy)

This line tells setup to use the unattended.txt file on floppy instead of the winnt.sif on the CD
If the content in winnt.sif and unattended.txt files are identical both installs will be identical.
It is a simple boot floppy No changes to the original cd are required and the floppy's unattended.txt can be easily edited.

Thanks toolman good info...

Winnt.exe runs on 16-bit operating systems, including Microsoft® MS-DOS®,

Create a Dos boot disk with driver support for the CD rom in the machine. (must be able to read the source files)

add this line as the last line in autoexec.bat (assumeing CD is drive E:)

E:\i386\Winnt.exe /s:E:\i386 /u:A:\unattend.txt

this way you could have a floppy for each machine type.

this is the Technet explanation->

well your half way there.

send us a link to the latest drivers that are tested and working with your system and we'll add, beta test, and hopefully release an update.

Nlite http://www.nliteos.com/ will allow you to add additional drivers to the text mode setup portion of the installation till then.

A third party driver pack of your own making will work for most things.

Yes you can do this but the file needs to be renamed.

Get the Microsoft tool for this it has a wizard and some basic instructions.

SetupMgr primarily will help you, but read the docs and all will become clear.
