ReactOS unattended.inf

[Mario Gzuk]

Hi,
I am the maintainer of uranos (http://uranos.sf.net) and want to 
implement the unattended setup of ReactOS into uranos. I read that you 
have implemented a answer file into ReactOS.
Because of uranos does all the parts which is done by the txtinstaller 
from ReactOS (partition disk, write mbr, copy files and so on) from a 
linux boot environment - I want to know if it is possible to place the 
unattended.inf into the filesystem so the ReactOS is read the file in 
the first GUI boot.

Thank you! Cheers mario

Can it create registry hives?

See
<http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/reactos/dll/win32/syssetup/wizard.c?revision=53485&view=markup#l_2185>.
ReactOS searches unattend.inf on installation CD on the first GUI
boot.

There is also the offline registry editor in the boot env 
(http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/ ) so it should be possible if it is 
needed. (is it?)

But at this time there is no CD in the drive... In the M$ Windows 
(XP/2003) installation the installer is searching for the winnt.sif 
answer file (for the GUI mode) in $win_nt$.~bt on the hard drive. For 
automated installation it would be helpful to have a possibility to 
place the answer file directly into the InstallDIR (e.g. ReactOS\ or 
ReactOS\system32). What do you think?

Thank you for the fast answer.

Cheers

Yes. See usetup sources (base/setup/usetup).

Then you should modify the installer (syssetup).
